I am a softie for octopus-themed books, so I was already predisposed to this story about a girl who wakes up one day to find an octopus on top of her apartment building. The octopus turns out to be quite friendly and helpful until it abruptly leaves one day. The warm, intricate and detailed illustrations are excellent. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Nora is the first to notice a very large octopus on top of her apartment building, which proves to be a very good neighbor but leaves all too soon. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The second picture-book I have read that is illustrated by the marvelously talented Brazilian artist Rogério Coelho - the first was Books Do Not Have Wings, by Brynne Barnes - Roof Octopus is a visually stunning title, featuring gorgeous illustrations. I loved the use of color here, and the many little designs on the octopus' tentacles, which give them a lovely textured appearance. The story itself was entertaining - it helps, of course, that I am a huge fan of octopodes! - and will keep young listeners engaged. Recommended to anyone looking for imaginative and humorously surreal picture-book adventures, in the vein of such titles as Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem. ( )
