Jolly Olly Octopus
Written by Tony Mitton
Illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees

Publication date: 2010

Summary/Back cover:
Underneath the ocean,
down beneath the sea,
one wriggly octopus
is giggling with glee.

When Jolly Olly Octopus gets the giggles, it isn't long before all his friends are laughing along too!

Share this terrifically bouncy counting rhyme with your little ones - cheerful chuckling is guaranteed!

Review:
'Giggle-giggle-giggle! Tee-hee-hee! What a lot of laughter underneath the sea!' This is the catch phrase of the book and its infectious rhymes and delightful story line will have you giggling along with the characters as you enter the underwater delights of Jolly Olly and his friends. This is a counting book, but primarily it is highly entertaining as Jolly Olly and his mates gambol around the ocean floor oblivious to the danger of the shark! But wait - this story has a happy ending and can be read many times with children (and adults) finding new things to look at in the amazing illustrations each time. Guaranteed to be a family favourite!

4/5
