Bookroo's summary
Terry insists he's not an octopus, just a guy with extra limbs and a tuna obsession. But his fear of water keeps him on land. As he contemplates a visit to Super Octopus Fantasea Adventure World, Terry must confront his deepest fear. Will he finally take the plunge and discover who he truly is? Dive into this whimsical tale of courage and self-acceptance.
From the publisher
Can a scaredy octopus in denial embrace his true identity? A goofy octopod finally dares to take the plunge–and dip his tentacles into the water he fears. Terry is definitely not an octopus. He’s just a regular guy who happens to have a few extra limbs and a love of canned tuna. But again, he is NOT an octopus. If he were an octopus, he’d be living in the ocean, right? Not to mention going to Super Octopus Fantasea Adventure World. He definitely wouldn’t be on land, unless he was afraid of the water. Which he absolutely isn’t! OK, maybe, just maybe, it’s time he learned how to swim? Kids will smile at this very silly story about being brave, facing your fears, and accepting who you really are.
