"This is a strange book about an odd-couple friendship between a cowboy and an octopus. Told in short Vignettes, there are multiple stories in the book that don't really fit together other than the fact that they star Cowboy and Octopus. The humor is at times too subltle and at times obtuse. I am not sure many students would get it.
The illustrations are zany collages that student will find interesting--especially when Octopus is in a tut and has a wand and when there are real pictures of beans, beans, and more beans."
"I chose this book because I really like Jon Scieszka. It is simpler than his others.
The art work was collage which is different for Lan Smith.
They were 7 short stories about friendship. I liked the hat one: Do you like my new hat? Cowboy says, "Nope." And the moral was because friends tell the truth."
"Another odd story from the Scieszka/Smith duo. This one is about, of course, a cowboy and an octopus, and yep, they actually walk off together into the sunset. Their books are always silly, always fun, and great to read aloud."
"I loves me some Jon Scieszka and this is no exception! This one had both Mommy and Maren laughing out loud. Silly and clever with awesome illustrations!"
