AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A hilarious, fully illustrated tale about an unlikely friendship between a girl and an octopus that is perfect for newly independent readers, from one of Australia's most respected writers for children and an award-winning illustrator.

'FOUND!

'One octopus!

'Likes to eat tuna sandwiches.

'Goes by the name of 'Oswald'.

'It all began when Etta decided to take a bath . . . And realised she wasn't alone. On the floor lay a brown suitcase with Oswald written on it in fancy writing. And in the bath sat Oswald. Etta had never had an octopus in her bath before.

'Etta feels sure someone must be missing their octopus and is determined to return Oswald, but he seems a little less enthusiastic.

'When a rude lady with a net and a stick turns up to claim him, Etta must decide where Oswald really belongs.' (Publication summary)
