Summary
Letting his imagination run away with him, one young boy dreams about what it would be like if he lived his life like different types of animals, but after experiencing the world as an octopus, shark, tiger, and others, he comes to realize that being himself is the best thing of all.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

It"s a good thing
you're not an
octopus!

If you were an octopus, you would have eight legs to put into your pants!

Follow one little boy through his day as he playfully considers how mealtime, bath time, nap time, and many other activities would be different if he were a bird, a tiger, or any number of baby animals. At the end of the day he realizes that the best thing of all is to be himself!

Julie Markes's first picture book is charmingly illustrated by Maggie Smith.
