Asch, Frank Boy Saves Earth From Giant Octopus, illustrated by Devin Asch. KidsCan Press, 2010. $16.95. PICTURE BOOK. Hayward Palmer considers himself a scientist, so he has no use for his father’s job – reporting nonsense for the Daily Comet, a newspaper based on sensationalism. When he follows his dad on the job for the day, however, he discovers something much different. From a photographer that looks suspiciously like Elvis to a huge metallic octopus bent of wreaking havoc, the Asch’s book is a treat for the eye and ear. Adults will enjoy reading it as much as kids enjoy hearing it. EL (1-3) – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacher.
