Oscar Octopus is the 15th of the 26-book Alphabet Friends series - letter-shaped animals from around the world that explore the letters and their sounds in an entertaining and memorable way. Each story is beautifully illustrated with watercolors and explores a moral lesson with humor and engaging interaction. Think Phonics Books meets Mr. Men meets Berenstain Bears!
