Octopus Alone

40 pp. | Viking | May, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-78515-5 $16.99
(3) K-3 Shy Octopus is approached by several inquisitive seahorses that won't be shooed away. Avoiding the attention, she ends up in the dark depths where she enjoys solitude--until she misses company. The observation that it's nice to be alone sometimes is keen, as is the simple resolution that sometimes it isn't. Background colors in Srinivasan's bold illustrations represent changing ocean light marvelously.
