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 are a team of eight adorable creatures who hang out in a bright, colorful, octopus-shaped city under the sea. In Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy's second Octonaut tale, the gang must travel to the creepy Sea of Shade to rescue all the world's shadows. The crisply drafted pages bloom with fascinating detail: every tree, shadow, rock, and animal has an endearing, individual personality...the book itself is a lush visual treat. -- Utne Reader, From the Stacks, September 21, 2007

By	Matthew M. Laster (South Lake Tahoe, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Octonauts and the Sea of Shade, January 18, 2008

By	E. Stewart - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

Each story is an adventure that challenges and inspires young minds. These books are a must for every child's collection of reading materials and are sure to withstand the test of time.
