Super easy read. Loved the rhyming. We laughed when he traded the clothes with the kid even though its the kids clothes he was wearing.

Hilarious fun. I love sea creatures and I love animals in clothes. This book has my heart!

Absolutely adorable! A fashion-forward squid in need of clothes...
The colors are so vibrant. The characters are so cute! Highly recommend!!

First sentence: Sad squid. No clothes. I would wear those. Fish friends spot kid. We found clothes, Squid! Four friends, one boat. Two socks, one coat. Two shoes. Flip-flop! One shirt. Tank top! Nice pants. Kid gone? Squid puts clothes on!

Premise/plot: Squid and friends enjoy trying on and wearing human clothes...but all does not go smoothly under the sea.

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. What I enjoyed most was the rhythm and rhyme of the story. I liked the short, choppy sentences. I liked the rhyme. I liked the humor. I think it is incredibly silly. I think this one will probably have a good amount of kid appeal since UNDERWEAR.

I love the rhythm and the rhyme in this sweet and silly early reader about a squid who desperately wants to wear clothes. Adorable illustrations and snappy short sentences make it an irresistible read.

I don't usually flip through the leveled readers, but I decided to with this one. It was silly fun, but just okay.
