C. New Octonauts movie is a Netflix hit
---
Our favorite ocean explorers recently got rave TV reviews.
"The Best Toddler Show On Netflix Is Clearly Octonauts:
Unlike most shows I watch with my daughter, I feel like Octonauts respects me. I'm not saying Sesame Street doesn't, but Octonauts, again, commits fully to its premise. It's an action-adventure series set underwater that just happens to be kid-friendly."
- Fatherly
The crew's new movie on Netflix, 'Octonauts and the Caves of Sac Actun' got a thumbs up from Decider.
"Will children learn something about one of the Earth's most extreme environments? GOOD GOD I CAN'T TAKE THE TENSION, NOT GONNA SPOIL IT THOUGH!"
-Decider
Enjoy our four original storybooks that inspired the hit animated TV show worldwide.

a. Good Dream, Bad Dream
---
By Juan Calle and Serena Valentino
"VERDICT: Highly recommended for its broad appeal and adaptability as a read-aloud or independent read."
- School Library Journal
b. Justin Time: The Big Pet Story
---
By Brandon James Scott
"This is a good book to address the desire almost every child has for a pet. Through his bright illustrations, Scott successfully shows how much work a pet can be. While it may not deter your child from begging for a new animal, it is a good way to prepare him for the work that is involved, especially if the animal is going to be "his responsibility."
