A delightfully meta picture book that will set imaginations soaring.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Benji Davies, the illustrator of \u003ci\u003eThe Storm Whale \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGrandad's Island\u003c\/i\u003e, comes a metafictive story about ... how to build a story! First, a story needs a character. So why not a ukulele-playing octopus? And since this is a story, the octopus has to \u003ci\u003ewant\u003c\/i\u003e something - maybe it dreams of travelling to faraway galaxies in a purple spaceship. But every character needs an obstacle to overcome, and when the octopus sets out to \u003ci\u003ebuild \u003c\/i\u003eits own spaceship out of glue, umbrellas, glitter and waffles ... well, he doesn't have much luck. Could there be another character that could help? Debut author Maggie Tokuda-Hall sets up a funny, smart and warm-hearted story all about storytelling, then hands the baton to imaginative readers, who will be more than prepared to take it away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tokuda-Hall, Maggie \u0026 Davies, Benji","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44436943110434,"sku":"9781406373387","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/tokuda-hall-maggie-davies-benji-also-an-octopus-9781406373387-40549837340962.jpg?v=1675974043","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/also-an-octopus-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
