Publisher's Synopsis
Mies van Hout has long wished to do an underwater story and the result is this beautiful picture book that truly conveys the deep sea experience. A small octopus lives in a snug apartment until one day an intruder barricades the entrance. Octopus asks for advice on how to escape but the more suggestions he gets, the less he is able to figure out what to do. Eventually, Octopus learns to trust his own instincts and learns that things are not always what they seem. Mies van Hout's expert eye and execution are stunningly revealed in a red lobster, pink jellyfish and a wide variety of fish contrasted against an aqua sea.
