Good Thing You're Not an Octopus!

by Julie Markes, Maggie Smith (Illustrator)

Overview

If you were an octopus, you'd have eight legs to put into pants!

Follow one little boy through his day as he playfully considers how mealtime, bath time, nap time, and many other activities would be different if he were a bird, a tiger, or any number of baby animals. Julie Markes's first picture book is charmingly illustrated by Maggie Smith.
