Oswald the Octopus

(3) PS Oswald the Octopus is moving to Big City, and he's worried about his lack of friends. However, when his piano accidentally rolls down the street, he encounters a number of amiable creatures who help him out, including a penguin, a snowman, and "a daisy named Daisy." The illustrations for this surreal but low-key cumulative story feature simple, flat shapes on a spacious white background.
