(3) K-3 A lighthouse-dwelling boy and his friend find an octopus washed up on shore, trapped in a net. They band together with some sea creatures to liberate the animal. This wordless book delivers its subtle point through its fantastical oils with crackling varnish. (Look for one sea creature's clandestine liberation of a fishing boat's captives.) Information about tide pools, marine animals, and lighthouses is appended.
