An octopus follows Charlie home from the aquarium. And that's where everything goes wrong. When Charlie fails to convince his parents that a mischievous octopus is the culprit of the chaos, he takes matters into his own hands, devising a plan to get rid of the octopus once and for all. This book addresses the following social and emotional learning skills: thinking things through before taking action; helping with less desirable tasks and activities when asked; helping others with prompting and support; and independently recognizing when others need help.
