The Octonauts Explore The Great Big Ocean: Now a major television series!

My kids (ages 4 and 7) have been big fans of the Octonauts books and show for a couple of years. I bought this book as a Chanukah gift for my 4 year old, who in particular loves the "Vegimal" characters. This book tells the story of the origins of the Vegimals -- how they were discovered and grew, and takes the readers on an adventure throughout different sea habitats searching for the vegimals own habitat. The pictures are bright, modern, colorful, detail and completely engaging to both children and adult readers. There are several diagrams in the book that my son loves to examine in great detail -- names of each Vegimal, parts of the Octopod, things to pack on a trip, and different flavors of kelp cake. There's something slightly reminiscent of a Richard Scarry illustration and yet a bit more modern and hip. This book is also a great introduction to different sea habitats. I highly recommend this for ages 3-8.

We have an Octonauts enthusiast in our house. I bought the book on a whim and it's been a huge hit. He asks to read it every night, loves looking at all of the different details in the illustrations, and even wrote about how much he loves it at daycare. Highly recommend the book. It would be fun if there were more places with glow and the dark elements but there are a lot of details in the two pages that do glow, which is fun.

My 5 year old nephew is obsessed with octonauts lately! He is going to love this book. Good quality, the images are really nice!

My son loves the cartoon so I got him the book and the same theme dishes. He loves the book. It’s evidently for 6 years old kids and my child is only 4, but loves the figures. The color is intense and it has a page that illuminates in the dark so even though he can’t read and the book is fairly written, he loves it

My son loves flipping through this book. The pages have a ton on them, lots to look at. Octonauts is a favorite in our house.

This book is amazing! It comes with very detailed illustration of octopod and all the characters and the most amazing thing is the 2 glow in the dark page! At first I thought the glowing surprise would be several glow in the dar stickers however it turns out to be 2 beautifully drawn undersea pictures! They are absolutely beautiful!The glow in the dark pages stoped glowing after we have opened the book for an hour. I am very glad I searched the reviews and saw people using lights to "charge" it. I l turned to the 2 glowing pages and left the book open under the sunshine. And it worked! It is glowing again. Would recommend this to an Octonauts fan!

The book is a nice piece well designed and illustrated, the story could be better than the chapter of the TV series, but nice to have kids engage with the series. It offers some excellent data about the Octonauts.

Loved that you had this book!
