SHERLOCKTOPUS HOLMES:  Eight Arms of the Law

Sherlocktopus Holmes, the smartest octopus in the ocean, teams up with savvy starfish Dr. Flotsam to seek young Sally's missing doll, thrown in the water by her naughty brother, Steven. Complications arise when the doll is stolen by a succession of mysterious creatures, an otter, an eel, and a squid.

Following clues, Holmes and Flotsam swim through the Shark Park, the seahorse races and other dark places, in search of the doll, but not before encountering a red herring offered by the devious squid known as Squid Pro Quo.

Told with clever rhymes and in meter, this children's piocture book also includes amusing definitions that rhyme, such as:

A herring is a fish that's silver or blue.

A herring that's red can never be true.

Don't chase a red herring, it's an untrue clue.

Children ages six to ten and older will enjoy this colorful, imaginative trip throug the sea with Sherlocktopus Holmes.
