Obie is no ordinary blue-ringed octopus.
Afraid of the ocean, Obie prefers the safety of his home, high up in a coconut tree.
His best friend Ruby, a clumsy blue-footed booby bird, is determined to be the best swim teacher Obie's ever had.
Yet always behind him, so patient and sweet,
His closest companion with vibrant blue feet,
Was Ruby the booby, a most clumsy creature,
But excellent diver and loyal swim teacher.
One day, as she's preparing for their swim lesson, Ruby trips over her big blue feet, plops into the water, and is swept out to sea by the tide. That's when Obie spots a Galapagos Hawk (the blue-footed boobie's natural predator) circling the sky above, preparing to swoop down after his lifelong friend. In a split second, Obie must make a decision:
Will he face his fear to save his friend?
What other amazing octopus abilities can he use to help?
Written in captivating rhyme, full of animal science facts, and brought to life through enchanting hand-painted illustrations by the talented Karen Heyse, Obie the Octopus is the perfect gift for fans of Dr. Seuss, National Geographic, and sea creatures alike.
