The Octonauts and the Frown Fish Kindle Edition

My son loves these books. We have a few of them. If your kid is a fan of the show, these books are a must have! They are kind of on the long side, my son is 5 so he sits still for them fine. They are rather pricey, but they were the same price at other stores when I shopped around. Worth the money.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  This story was absolutely fun and the kids were so into it! (Usually the kids won’t sit through a book reading before bed without constant redirecting to sit back).The kids sat through this whole story and loved all the illustrations! I had to give a good pause after reading each page for the kids to take a extra long look at the pictures! This one is a must-have in your home library 📚

My 3 year old daughter has recently fallen in love with The Octonauts. After searching several retailers Amazon had the best price and availability of Octonauts books. I chose "The Frown Fish" based on the reviews and the cover art. The book is very cute and has a nice story. The art is wonderful and very detailed. My only complaint is that I felt like the story was a little short Andrew book a bit expensive at $13. All in all, it's a very nice hardback book.

My Granddaughter absolutely LOVES this book!It’s a Darling story with beautiful illustrations.The book is printed in a unique way that will be a surprise as you turn the pages!I will definitely be purchasing more books from this author. We LOVE this book!Thank you!

My son LOVES these books (and the show). The Meomi ones have more detail than the books based more on the show. He loves looking at all the different sea creatures on the pages. We have gotten all the books.

My child is an Octonauts fan and he enjoyed very much the story. The illustrations are nice and the story entertaining. I’m happy with the purchase.

A big hit ! My grandsons favorite show beautiful illustrations cute story we just got it today I have already read it three times

Great book. Get deep with the octonauts!Spoiler:Twist ending: the frown fish is a spy!

The Octonauts and the Frown Fish is Harry's first Octonauts book, so neither of us knew what to expect when we received it through the post. I was really impressed with the beautiful front cover, full of bright and bold colour that young readers will love and each of the main characters pictured so children can relate that to what they see on the television easily. This trend continues throughout the book, with the pictures being bright and very colourful, and a joy to look at. Unusually for a child's book, there is always a lot of illustrations on each page, even the smallest details are taken care of and each page is fantastic to look at. The characters all appear on each page and feature prominently, Harry loves going through and seeking them out on each page.The story follows the Octonauts coming a fish that looks very sad, always going around with a frown on its face. The Octonauts decide to take it upon themselves to try and cheer up the Frown Fish, with each of them offering up their own suggestion to make the Frown Fish smile, although none of it seems to work. The Octonauts have to figure out what it is about the Frown Fish that makes him special and save the day once more! It's an easy story for children to follow, with the opportunity for lots of discussion about the ideas going on, and also emotions too which I felt was a good topic for Harry and I to talk about while reading this, and why the creatures all enjoyed different things.The language used throughout the book is quite adult, and I would certainly say all young readers are going to need help reading this, or even just having an adult read it just like I have to with Harry. Some of the terms used are hard for youngsters to get their heads around, but me explaining the ideas to Harry usually sorts it out. The text print is quite small too so not overly child friendly. However, I've found Harry is far more interested in the gorgeous illustrations on each page than the words and is more than content with me reading to him while he points out things all over the book. One thing I adore about this book is while the majority is landscape like the book itself, there are a couple of double page spreads which are printed vertically and so you have to spin the book around to read it, making for a fun and tactile reading experience that children will just love!I think this is a great book for any child that is a fan of the Octonauts series on the television, and will no doubt be enjoyed countless times as it has been already by Harry and I! It's a fairly long book for young ones at 40 pages long, but when you're reading it does seem to go quickly, unless you have little fingers pointing everywhere and wanting to talk about everything! I bought Harry's copy for £3.50 on Amazon which is a great price for such a good quality book. The pages and cover are nice and thick, although the fact it is a paperback means it might show the wear and tear a little more easily, and the illustrations are wonderfully colourful and really stand out every time you read. It's a fun story, a gorgeous book and one Harry and I definitely recommend!

Very pleased with this book. The book is lovely quality, but it's the beautiful illustrations that really stand out. Every page is so detailed and full of lots of things to look at alongside the main characters and the story. A real favourite already of our big Octonaut 3yo fan. Will be purchasing others.

My son is only 16 months old and would ordinarily have never considered buying this book for him yet. At the doctor surgery, however, he found this book and thought it was completely fascinating. So much so there was a major fuss when we had to leave the book behind...Now he looks at it every day (or 20 times a day) which I am happy about as there's are lots of little nods to the parents to keep us happy too (especially the dressing up part of the story, had me in stitches). Surprisingly, he is quite happy for me to read most of the story as there is so much to investigate on each page, finding Peso being the major priority. I like that the language is quite developed, there are longer words that most adults do not usually use around children which will help develop vocabulary. I shall definitely have more Octonauts books on Christmas and birthday lists.

New to me, I bought it on the recommendation of my daughter for her three year-old's Christmas present. I bought the hardback edition (as I always tend to do as they are proper books) and read it as my bemusement grew but, having been in Narnia and in Middle-Earth, I gave it the benefit of the doubt.I am glad I did. He loved it and insisted I read it to him as soon as the paper was off. When we reached the end, he turned the pages back. He's grown out of it now but loved it while it lasted.Go on Grandpa - just buy it and have some fun.

We love these Meomi books. The illustrations are so good. We always find something new to look at and discuss (and delay bedtime with!!). We now have the full set of the Meomi Octonaut books and my husband and I enjoy reading them to and with our son as much as he does. We especially love the different activities they think of to cheer up the frown fish in this book. The music and golf pages both stunning in their detail. More please Meomi.
