“Disney artist Chou's digital illustrations are the draw here. Finding Nemo: Nemo's Day Off fans will recognize these big-eyed sea creatures. In the final spread, two of Adorabilis' tentacles form a heart, emphasizing its over-the-top cuteness. . .A sweet dessert for storytime.” ―Kirkus Reviews“A sweet imagined story of how the Adorabilis octopus got his name. . .The bubbly typeface paired with Chou’s whimsical, geometric illustrations complement Polansky’s story well.
