The Octonauts & the Frown Fish Hardcover – Illustrated, October 1, 2008

My daughter (3) LOVES the Octonauts and loves this book. The story is laid out similar to an Octonauts episode. They incorporate humor through out which my daughter loves and I love the subtle nerdy references that give the parents something to enjoy too.

The media could not be loaded. This story was absolutely fun and the kids were so into it! (Usually the kids won’t sit through a book reading before bed without constant redirecting to sit back).The kids sat through this whole story and loved all the illustrations! I had to give a good pause after reading each page for the kids to take a extra long look at the pictures! This one is a must-have in your home library 📚

We found this book at the local library, and my lads, two and four, insisted we borrow it. I was expecting it to be like far too many of the other children's books I've read to them: so simple as to be completely uninteresting to those of us who have to read it. I was wrong. The illustrations are gorgeous, the story interesting, and included some delightful little "easter eggs" for us parents. My husband and I love to read it to our children, especially for the "dress up" page. We love the "magic user level 20," the Devo "rock star," and, best of all, the frown fish dressed as Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor! This book meets with the approval of both parents and children. A must-have!

Arrived in perfect condition.

My child loves these books and you receive great quality material. The pages are detailed and provides additional information that’s is intriguing.

I guess Grandma is more animated with her story telling than my Grandson's Papa, because he told his Papa to please go sit on the other sofa while Grandma read this darling story about the Frown Fish. Of course Grandma already knew why the fish was frowning and so just before the last page that told the story, I revealed that "Grandma knows exactly why the Frown Fish is frowning, you will be surprised!" So he eagerly awaited my turning the page and I turned the book upside down and said "See, Frown Fish is an Upside Down Fish and it had always been smiling, ha ha ha!! Isn't that funny?" He got the giggles so hard it took him some time get ready for the next Octonauts book for me to read. Great investment!

My 3 year old daughter has recently fallen in love with The Octonauts. After searching several retailers Amazon had the best price and availability of Octonauts books. I chose "The Frown Fish" based on the reviews and the cover art. The book is very cute and has a nice story. The art is wonderful and very detailed. My only complaint is that I felt like the story was a little short Andrew book a bit expensive at $13. All in all, it's a very nice hardback book.

This book is not just cute-- it is beautiful! The pictures are wonderful! The first time I read it to my kids (ages 5) I was concerned about the story. It seemed really serious but there was a surprise ending that made the kids laugh and laugh! They love this book and they make me read it over and over. I see them looking at the pictures (and turning the book upside down). I would highly recommend!
