Bookroo's summary
In the vast ocean, a tiny, bespectacled fish faces a hungry octopus. But this little fish isn't as helpless as he seems. What surprise does he have in store?
From the publisher
What do you do when you’re so tiny that the bigger ocean creatures think you might even taste adorable? An itsy-bitsy, glasses-wearing fish is minding his own business when a playful (and hungry) octopus snatches him right up. Luckily, this poor little guy is not quite as innocent as he seems…and he has a BIG surprise up his sleeve!

“This book takes a surprising turn at the end and may spark a bit of discussion about why the fish hurts the octopus.”
