Cowboy and Octopus
Peanut butter and jelly. George and Martha. Frog and Toad. Cowboy and . . . Octopus? Yes, that’s right. Meet Cowboy and Octopus—the next great pair to become a household name. Cowboy likes beans’n’bacon and bacon’n’beans. Octopus eats raw seafood. Octopus prefers knock-knock jokes, but Cowboy doesn’t get them. How will these two ever be friends?
Illustrated in funky, vintage-style cut-outs and told in several humorous mini-stories, the famous Stinky Cheese Man duo of Scieszka and Smith have created sweet—and of course hilarious—tales of an unlikely friendship. |

This book will be very appealing to kids who have a kind of absurd, silly sense of humor. I have loved all of the Scieszka/Smith books, and I actually owned a copy of Sitnky Cheese Man ten years before my first child was born. I was very, very happy to see that my kids giggle about it as much as I do.
And for all of the silliness, the stories actually have nice, meaningful morals to them.
The octopus might be a little bit on the scary side for some kids.
