I really like this Spanish book because it teaches children facts about octopi, and it also rhymes. I used this story for an ocean-themed Spanish and bilingual story time program this summer. I also used it last summer. It could be used to promote phonological awareness since it rhymes, but this last time I used the stories I did to promote vocabulary building. At the beginning of the program, I held up pictures of real-life ocean animals, including an octopus, crab, starfish, and sea horse, and asked the children to identify them. It was a pretty successful program. I also brought in a conch shell so the kids could listen to the "ocean."

The verse in this book messed up my beginning reader just a little: it used less common words and structures in order to obtain the rhyme and meter.
