PBM #1: The Octonauts and the Only Lonely Monster
What’s “PBM,” you ask? It’s Picture Books Monday!
Or Picture Book Mondays!
I’m not sure which.
But my plan is to shortly and sweetly highlight a picture book here each Monday.
My purpose: To share good books with you. We all know picture books are fun for kids, but some of forget that as adults we are free to keep on enjoying them. They’re quick, often visually inspiring, and fun.
Getting down to business:
This week’s PBM book is The Octonauts and The Only Lonely Monster by Meomi.
Why Read It: Cuteness and more cuteness and also serious adorableness. Great design, layout, and colors. Good story, too.
Themes: Friendship. Being unique/unusual is good.
Bonus Bits: Meomi has a great Octonauts site here. You can print out coloring pages, download free desktops, etc.

Picture Book(s) Monday(s) sounds like a great idea, and The Octonauts look like a good place to start. I’ve never seen these before, but I love the illustration style.
Above all else, my greatest admiration for the deft way in which you managed to insert the word “adorableness” into the proceedings.
