How to Get Your Octopus to School review

How to Get Your Octopus to School by Becky Scharnhorst

Learn how to get your octopus to school in this back-to-school story!(goodreads summary)
 

 

 

 
Trying to get your Octopus to school can be one challenging task. This is a fun and humorous story that will make kids giggle as they prepare themselves to head back to school.  The ups and downs of getting ready for the big day is relatable from both a child's and a parent's point-of-view.   The illustrations are so cute and kids will love searching for Octopus on each page as he hides from getting ready and going off to school.  The emotions are expressive as well and we can sense how nervous and reluctant Octopus feels.   It is a wonderful read to help calm the back to school jitters and a conversation starter about how your child feels about a new school year.  The end pages include interesting Octopus facts.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 4-7.~
