She's a curious, energetic 7-year-old, and she's only got 5 minutes left of bath time. She's gotta think of something fast. Oh, that's it! Underwater imagination adventure! Down, down, down into the ocean depths she goes until she meets a squishy stranger. Introductions are made, an awful pun is delivered and a shaky bond is forged. \u003cp\u003e“Mary and the Octopus: A Children's Tale of Dubious Friendship” is the debut picture book from children's author and illustrator Scott Lemonier, a former journalist who left the cynical world of newsprint to share his silly, funny stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty-eight pages of brightly-colored illustrations deliver some snappy dialogue, a strong female character and a grudging appreciation for one of nature's most interesting and intelligent cephalopods. This is the first in a series of imagination adventures that Mary will be taking, including trips to outer (and inner) space, meeting a variety of cool and unique animals, historical figures and maybe even a stint as a super hero!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bo-na-na-na Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029775302896,"sku":"9780996068505","price":9.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780996068505_p0.jpg?v=1763952230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780996068505","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
