Octavus Octopus: Octavus the Octopus
Octavus Octopus is the second of the four-book 'I Am Reading Latin Stories' Series. Each book is independent, but Octavus has a few more words than does the first book Ursus et Porcus and makes use of a little more grammar.By illustrations and a simple Latin story it tells of a little octopus who does not appreciate his home until he leaves it.Special Features* Original artwork

Octavus Octopus - a sweet, coloring-book style story about an Octopus who gets cold "feet" and wants socks, but his mother says no, so he goes out of the water onto the beach, but dries out, and learns that the cold sea is a better place for an octopus - cute, but reminds me of controversies over the correct way to decline "octopus" . . . :)

Level B (Novice Mid)
Of the four books in this series, this is my favorite. The author’s humor comes through once again in this little story about a chilly octopus.
