If you like Ollie the Octopus as an activity book, read about his adventures in this engaging children's e-book, available in English and German, which tells two versions of Ollie's adventures using the same storyboards - a unique way of telling the story!

The first version follows the activity book. In the second version, he ventures out one day and barely escapes the attack of a foreign kraken. Upon running from the dangerous stranger, he falls into a hole and is faced having to fight his best friend, Sallie the Shark, who mistakes him for the kraken. After she faints, Ollie pulls her out of the hole and takes her home to her parents.

Ollie the Octopus embraces the creative way that children change the story text to fit their own vivid imaginations. With this, we offer two stories in one!

Artwork from Ollie's fans

October 15, 2011, was a fine day in St. Neots, England at the Waterstones Arc Centre bookstore. There, William read Ollie the Octopus to excited fans, who then colored in some really fantastic pictures!

Here is Chloe's work. She is 4 years old.	Chloe was so fast she colored in TWO pictures in one reading!	Cody, age 4, needed a little help because the Ollie books were so very interesting. At first he wanted to color directly in the book, but Daddy said it'd be better to use one of the cutout pages we had for the kids. William put on his best "Kid" hat and helped Cody pick the colors.
Daisy, age 5, likes rainbows, so after giving Ollie his own red, she painted Ollie's Mom a colorful set of clothes.	Little William, aged 5 years, was so excited to hear Ollie the Octopus from someone else with his name! He explained all about sharks, as he is the resident expert at Waterstones on sharks, Dads, octopi and many other fish (Dads too!).	Susana, age "3 and a half", had quite the creative streak! Assisting the other kids with their art, Susana showed them how to combine crayon effects for an almost 3D image!
On August 13, 2012, William went to Heffer's Bookstore in Cambridge, England, where he read stories to the children, along with a reading from Ollie the Octopus. Here is the artwork of the winner of the "Coloring-In Contest" - Sophie, age 2 (with a little help from Dad)		Here she is, getting her prize - a bathtub squeeze Ollie.
