A little girl dreams of her perfect pet – an octopus! It would be able to play with all her friends at once, in whatever game they wanted to play. It’s a whiz at math, since it can count up to eight. It has great camouflage and can hide from everyone. But it would be especially good at hugs, since it has so many arms.
Imagination runs wild in this fun book that explores the joys of having this unique pet. I highly recommend If I Had an Octopus.
