What is Tickly Octopus about?

Octopus loves using his eight twisty, twirly tentacles to tickle the fish, bringing joy to some but annoyance to others. When he startles Oyster, causing her to lose her precious pearl, Octopus embarks on a quest to retrieve it. Along the way, he discovers he can swim swiftly, squeeze into tight spaces, and, most importantly, help a friend in need. This delightful tale of self-discovery and friendship is beautifully illustrated and filled with humour.
