You can’t go wrong with a book for children about pants and this one is particularly satisfying and giggle-inducing. The poor octopus narrator of the story has a problem – he doesn’t have any underpants, ‘there’s nothing on below’. None of the shops he visits seem to cater for an octopus after pants, it seems he has just too many legs.
His attempts at online shopping are a failure too – a delightfully literal imagining of ‘online’! At last though the staff of the Under-Sea Emporium come to his aid with a helpful and creative suggestion. Delightfully silly, and the story is told in deft rhyme that make it great fun to read aloud.
Claire Powell’s vibrant illustrations are full of extra jokes and details too.
A young octopus is embarrassed that he doesn't have any pants to wear! He goes to several stores in the sea, but none of them has what he needs. Then one day he discovers the Under-Sea Emporium that seems to have the perfect items for everyone.
