BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Arlo wants to draw an Octopus, in fact he is very excited, but once he starts, he doesn't like his drawing, Arlo doesn't think it looks like an octopus at all - so he throw his drawing - but someone else finds it, someone who is also trying to draw and isn't satisfied. When they compare drawings, each artist realizes that they are better than they thought!
I liked Arlo's excitement and the progress of his frustration - brought on by his own negative thoughts. I really liked Rob Sayegh's illustrations, Arlo's crayon drawings were just perfect. This would be a great book to share with a child who needs help with positive mindset.
