Octopus shares with Little Crab the many things he does with his eight arms. "My arms can knit a sweater, / write a letter, / bake a pie, / and wave good-bye." The gentle rhymes match the soothing ending: his arms give a big, satisfying hug. Digitally rendered illustrations depict the coral-colored octopus in a soft aqua sea, playfully enjoying his everyday activities.
