Yesterday you met two whales and today an octopus has dropped by to wrap you in eight arms. This was a sketch I created for the book What’s your Favorite Color with the amazing author/illustrator Eric Carle. By the way, what’s your favorite color? Why?
Spread from What’s your Favorite Color, Eric Carle and Friends.
Octopuses are one of my favorite sea creatures because they have three hearts and are masters of color. They have blue blood and squirt ink to chase predators away. Because they don’t have bones they are skilled at squeezing in and out of close spaces. They are really smart with suction cups at the end of their eight arms. It would be so much to watch them coloring today’s sketch.
