Octopus Socktopus

My 2 year old is a total bookworm, she loves looking at books and being read to. Whilst discussing this with a friend recently, she suggested that she might enjoy Nick Sharratt books as all three of her children enjoy his stories. I ordered this (and others as a result.)We were not disappointed. Octopus -socktopus is silly and totally captures the imagination of children and adults alike.The illustrations are brightly coloured and engaging, the pop-up element just adds to the silliness and excitement of this simple but clever book. My daughter loves "chickenpoktopus" the best. Having recently had chicken pox this really appealed to her. There really is an octopus for everyone! Punk-rocktopus & party-frocktopus are particular favourites of the adults in our household.Nick Sharratt has an incredible ability to tap into children's creative minds in a way that few authors can. His stories and illustrations are laugh out loud funny, enjoyable read for all the family...

Book itself is lovely. Unfortunately I ordered a copy described as ‘fair’ - personally I would described it as poor, at least 7 of the nice pop up bits were ripped off and missing. It only cost £1.50 so not worth the trip to the post office to return it, but if I’d seen it in a charity shop in that condition I wouldn’t have bought it.

Great book. 2 year old Daughter loves it. But was hoping for the flap and pull tabs like on the youtube videos. I should of looked at the description better tbh but little disappointed its not the flap and pull version - as there is much more for children to interact with. Fun book for toddlers.

Ordered this as grandson loves shark in the park. This book is completely different formate, and not a story. It’s great but not like shark in the park.

Our 2 and a half yr old and 18 month old twins all love this book. It's become a firm favourite in our house. One of our twins is quite delayed socially and with speech and wasn't fussed about books before we got this one. I don't know why she loves it so much but it's really helped her!

Not as funny as ‘elephant wellyphant‘, but the rhymes are still good to read with toddler.What is ridiculous is the complete disproportionate amount of packaging for such a tiny book!

Excellent book, and has really got my son excited about rhyming words! He's always coming up with new rhymes now. Helps that his favourite animal is an octopus. Definitely recommend

This is just a lift the flap book it does not have the pull tabs or the pop up parts as in the description.Great story but wrong description. Please update the description.
