"I can now report to you that The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade is just as charming, beautiful, funny, and adorable as the first Octonauts book. I highly recommend this to children and adults alike - especially if those adults love intoxicating graphics and mysterious underwater worlds." - Treehouse Jukebox "!!!I I always feel very young when I use exclamations, but oh well. It looks fantastic. I have a lot of friends who are very into what Immedium's doing--so not only do you have the kids on your side, but 30+ yr old graphic designers." - Nicole Harvey, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco "I am always in search of children's books that are slightly offbeat and unique. It keeps things interesting for the grownups and the kids…The illustrations in Octonauts are vibrant and detailed. They are the kind of illustrations that the kids stare at for a while, so they can find all the intricate story and character details that are not explained in the text." - MamaLibrarian "It may be a picture book, but the pictures are what it is all about. We'll say right now that cute is a word that is probably impossible to avoid using in reference to the gang of 7 animals and one vegimal (part vegetable, part animal) who have underwater adventures…The illustrations are simply amazing: colourful digital cartoons that have the mark of becoming classics. Each page is chock full of details to pore over." - ArtMoCo "The crisply drafted pages bloom with fascinating detail: every tree, shadow, rock, and animal has an endearing, individual personality. While the story might be too cute for some, the book itself is a lush visual treat." - Utne Reader "This book will entertain children and adults of all ages. I really wish that I were a child again because the books are better than ever! Go and Read It!" - Mixed Plate "Exploring the world is almost synonymous with exploring colour...On top of that, the characters in the book are extremely loveable. With their gently-coloured designs and their exciteable curiosity, there’s no doubt that children won’t be the only ones falling in love with them, and hoping for more adventures to come." - Colour Lovers "order The Octonauts and the Sea of Shade today - your kids will love you for it." - Kaliber10k
