Bookroo's summary

In the ocean's depths, an octopus with a penchant for tickling stirs up trouble when his antics cause Oyster to lose her precious pearl. Determined to make amends, he embarks on a quest to retrieve it, uncovering unexpected abilities along the way. Can he prove he's more than just a tickler and restore harmony under the sea?

From the publisher

Down in the ocean lived tickly octopus with eight twisty, twirly tentacles that loved to tickle the fish. Octopus thought tickling was fun! But some of the other sea creatures didn’t like to be tickled. But Octopus thought that tickling was what he did best. One day Octopus tickled Oyster while she was sleeping. Oyster was so startled that she lost her pearl. After apologizing, Octopus went in search for Oyster’s pearl and soon discovered that he had many talents other than tickling. Octopus could swim fast and squeeze into small places, but best of all he was able to find and return Oyster’s pearl!
