Also an Octopus by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

Also an Octopus by Maggie Tokuda-Hall

Every story starts with nothing, so ... why not an octopus who wants to fly in a spaceship? A delightfully meta picture book that will set imaginations soaring.

"This is a smart and uplifting look at how stories work and the power of imagination - paired with bright colours and a very cuddly octopus in a cosy red hatOne for the creative kids out there (which is to say, all of them)." Irish Times "An innovative picture book about how to build a story [...] Funny and smart, this book will fire up youngsters' imaginations." Aldershot News and Mail "[...] a clever spin on story building, using the legs and body of the octopus of the title for help. Young readers will be more than inspired to create their own." Armadillo [...] for a bit of surreal fun, with, perhaps a few light-hearted lessons in story telling theory there is Also an Octopus. The Herald
