What an original idea. So cool. What was it submitted for?

For a children's book fair in Italy and to Scholastic publishing. I got nice little rejection letters that weren't too crushing (which is nice :) )

Yeah, could have been worse... could have not responded at all. :shrug: Well, I think it's cool, but perhaps for children, a bit more color. At least that's what I've been told too. "Kids like vibrant. They are more likely to pay attention if there are lots of colors to look at." If that's the case, then why are infants given black and white patterned mobiles and toys to develop their minds?

I still think it's great! The uniqueness is what grabs my attention. I like the style too. The butterflies really stand out. :clap: I like it, but who am I?

cute - i'd love to have an octopus to walk :D

i was just at the monterey bay aquarium, and they had several large octopi... and a little film about them too. in the film, they showed an octopus being fed. it reached its arms out of the tank, and the woman feeding it kept gently lifting and returning the arms into the tank. but sometimes the octopus wrapped its arm around her arm, and the woman stroked it lovingly. in the voiceover, they explained some octopus really seem to enjoy human contact, while others shied away.

i thought that was just so cool - affectionate octopusses :D

How wonderfully odd! Love the contrast between the octopus and the butterflies.
