Review
Meomi, the creators of the Octonauts, are back with a follow-up to their "The Octonauts & the Only Lonely Monster" book. "The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade" details the band of land animals in an underwater world and their struggle to try and find their lost shadows. The 30+ page picture book is a funny, cutesy story for readers of all ages. The vibrant colors the artists use make sure that you'll want to check out every part of each page. -- Plastic and Plush

The Octonauts and Sea of Shade
This an absolutely wonderful book that both my 4 year old son and 15 month old daughter love. My son especially loves this book and the adventure that the octonauts go on. I would highly recommend this book to any parents with young children. The illustrations are fantastic and don't limit themselves to your typical book pictures. Your child will love looking at each picture to see all the treats that are there!

The Octonauts and the Sea of Shade
This is the second Octonauts book I purchased for my 4 year old son. The story is very sweet and the pages are beautiful. I love how the story moves the book sideways and upside down. This book has an engaging set of characters and adventure.

Purchased for 6 y.o. grandson.. his mom said it might be a little advanced for him.
