No, the little boy wants something special, something that goes in the water, something that no one else will have! AN OCTOPUS! The boy goes to Dad first and pitches his idea to him, but Dad replies, "a creature like that belongs in the sea". Unhappy with Dad's answer, the little boy goes to Mom explaining "my octopus would make you laugh, style your hair and run your bath". The little boy asks his gran who seems to be all for it, saying, "He'll roller skate and jump in puddles, play mini golf and give wonderful cuddles". But Gran gets an ORANGUTAN instead! 650 $a Octopuses $x Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Pets $x Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Families $x Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Picture books. 650 $a Children's stories 650 $a PICTURE BOOKS / Animals / Pets 650 $a PICTURE BOOKS / Family / Multigenerational 941 $a 2 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20230519013427.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20211113010627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5CB537BC444F11EC89A41A2526ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
