Octavia and Her Purple Ink Cloud

By: Donna Rathmell, Doreen Rathmell

Narrated by: Donna German

Octavia Octopus and her sea-animal friends love playing camouflage games to practice how they would hide from a "big, hungry creature". Octavia, however, just cannot seem to get her colors right when she tries to shoot her purple ink cloud. What happens when the big, hungry shark shows up looking for his dinner?

This creative audiobook introduces basic colors along with the camouflage techniques of various sea animals - a great introduction to marine biology! The "For Creative Minds" educational section includes fun facts about octopuses and animal camouflage and protection. The craft uses primary colors (paint or tissue paper) to help children learn about blending colors.
