As they share their favorite activities, the question remains: can they make their new friend smile? Dive into a vibrant underwater world where fun and friendship hold the key to happiness. Join Professor Inking, Dashi Dog, and the rest of the crew on this heartwarming journey to discover the power of looking beyond appearances.

From the publisher

The Octonauts meet a fish who looks very sad…can they make it smile? Enjoy the original books that launched the hit animated TV show worldwide! The Octonauts are a crew of adorable animals who explore the oceans in search of adventure and fun! From their undersea base called the Octopod, the Octonauts explore a vibrant world full of thrills, chills, and gills. The crew of eight talented critters, which include Professor Inking, Dashi Dog, Tweak Bunny, and Tunip the Vegimal, is always ready to embark on a new exciting voyage. In this entertaining story, the Octonauts meets a fish with a giant frown on its face. It looks so glum that it’s causing everyone around to feel down too. Our heroes need to find a way to cheer it up. So the Octonauts share their favorite pastimes! Readers will enjoy making music, building robots, baking desserts, and carousing at the playground. But will the fun-loving crew ever make their new friend smile? Combining the instant appeal of Hello Kitty with the intrepid spirit from Star Trek, the Octonauts will entertain and delight children, while adults will appreciate the stylish design and subversive humor. Lushly layered and brightly colored illustrations create a teeming undersea universe that will dazzle readers’ eyes, inspire their imaginations, and tickle their funny bones. Called “charming and beautifully-designed” by comics scholar Scott McCloud, Meomi’s winsome cast of characters have attracted an international audience, from kids, parents, and teachers to digital artists and fashion designers. What is their next mission? Stay tuned for the next Octonauts adventure to find out! Immedium’s original four books inspired the popular animated television series that is broadcast on Disney Junior and Netflix and in more than 100 countries around the globe. Too many children’s books talk down to kids, thinking that talking on their level equates to dropping IQ points. It’s refreshing to read The Octonauts and the Frown Fish, a smart and entertaining kids book… it’s fun and teaches a lesson to look past the exterior and appreciate what’s inside. Comic book readers looking to get their kids into graphic storytelling early will want to seek out this one. Nice bed time story reading, this one is. - Ain’t It Cool News
