A review by libraryjen
Cowboy & Octopus by Lane Smith, Jon Scieszka

2.0

I expected much better from the duo of Scieszka & Smith. :( Other than the juxtaposition of a ocean creature and a cowboy, there's nothing particularly outstanding about this book. The story goes downhill quickly after the first 3 spreads. The artwork is distracting. I had hoped to use this with my preschoolers for a friendship theme but it's just not up to snuff. Two stars instead of one because the first 3 spreads were amusing. Sorry, not recommended.
