Squid and Octopus: Friends for Always by Tao Nyeu
4.0
Very cute story for young readers. There are several mini-"chapters" in this story, each a new story in Squid and Octopus' friendship. As we were reading this story, my daughter asked what was a difference between a squid and octopus, so we looked it up, using several sources from the internet then used that new knowledge as we read the book! Of course, she later pointed out that we could have figured it out because they always wear the same colored hat to help us know who-was-who....
This book was a great introduction to longer chapter books that are about friends - such as the Frog and Toad books, or Henry and Mudge. In the first chapter, Squid and Octopus have a disagreement about whether they wear socks or mittens on their tentacles. Each chapter has one of the friends narrating that particular story and there is always a problem and solution. Young readers will enjoy reading about these ocean creatures and the predicaments they get into!
