Four entertaining short stories introduce readers to Squid and Octopus--two friends who face fashion dilemmas, dream of being extraordinary, and together let their imaginations run wild. Cameos by creatures from Nyeu's previous books, some adorable new ocean critters, and the cool underwater color palette of the silkscreened pages--filled with detail (and humorous asides)--will grab young readers' attention.

Three short stories follow a group of bunnies in a silly series of mishaps. As neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Goat obliviously go about their chores, the bunnies get splashed with mud, vacuumed up, and snipped with gardening shears; luckily, Bear always has an ingenious solution to the bunnies' difficulties. Silk-screened illustrations and spot-on text give the stories great wit and warmth.

In this wordless book, two children plant an unusual seed. Sure enough, the seed becomes a plant, which sprouts a magical bear. The bear produces a hatful of monkeys, blows lion-shaped bubbles, and accompanies the children to the moon. The book's drawing card is its handsome silkscreened art on uncoated paper, dominated by crisply outlined blues, greens, and oranges.
