my very own octopus is a story about a boy who really wants an octopus as a pet because his brother is allergic to everything else. if he had an octopus as a friend he would be able to have him on the baseball team and no one would be able to get a ball past them. he would be able to clean up his room faster and never have to carry anything. they would have the best snowball fights and if there was ever a bully picking on someody, his pet octops would be able to teach him a lesson. but in the end he knows he wouldnt be able to have an octopus as a pet. this book really shows the imagionations that children have. kids dream of having the coolest pets. i really likes how he imagined the octopus helping him with everything that he does. i would recomend this book to anyone. i see no problem with it.
