A. The Octonauts in Arizona!

Last month, the Octonauts launched their new zone at the SEA LIFE Aquarium in Kansas City...and the Royals just won Major League Baseball's World Series!
Sound the Octo-Alert again!
Starting next week, from November 13-22, SEA LIFE Arizona welcomes Captain Barnacles and Kwazii from our hit book series, which is now an animated TV show on the Disney Channel.
Participate in the Octonauts Training Academy and learn what it takes to become a member of the crew. As cadets, kids can:
- master the specialties of their favorite characters across 6 fun zones
- meet Captain Barnacles and Kwazii in person and

Who knows what luck Arizona will enjoy now?

Good Dream, Bad Dream
by Juan Calle and Serena Valentino
"Listen in as a father coaxes his son to sleep by reminding him that for all the monsters he can dream up, there are heroes (drawn from a variety of world cultures) who are uniquely equipped to defeat them in this bilingual Spanish-English story."
- Brain Hive
Sora and the Cloud
by Felicia Hoshino
"Sora and the Cloud is a enchanting story of a little boy and his new friend 'Cloud' both go on an adventure flying high over the city. Author Felicia Hoshino says, 'I wanted Sora and the Cloud to be bilingual, simply so that both my husband and I could enjoy reading it to our children in each of our native languages; for myself English and for my husband in Japanese.' Beautifully written and illustrated, you will love reading it with your children."
