C. New Octonauts movie on Netflix
---
Our favorite team of ocean explorers have a new movie debuting on Netflix on Tuesday, October 13th.
The Octonauts and the Great Barrier Reef
In this musical special, the Octonauts must find a way to hold back hungry swarms of coral-eating starfish to save a new friend's fragile reef home.
"Children's television can be nearly unwatchable for adults: screeching neon cartoons, inane earworms and nonsensical story lines that you're stuck 'co-viewing' with your kids. There are some bright spots in the chaos, though... Top recommendations included:
The Octonauts: ...The show features a crew of animals - a valiant polar bear named Captain Barnacles, a thrill-seeking kitten who dons an eye patch and a penguin who's somehow the medical officer of the bunch - who scout out the seas."
- New York Times Parenting

a. The Treehouse Heroes
---
By Phil Amara, illustrated by Alina Chau
"This action-packed adventure stars five super-powered teens focused on saving the plight of the endangered Zez, a dragon-like creature that's the last of its kind. Think Power Rangers meets traditional Asian folk tale meets exquisite scroll painting."
- ForeWord Magazine
b. You Might be a Monster
---
By Attaboy
"Look! Up on the stage! It's a word! It's a 'toon! It's a toy! It's ATTABOY!! The spastic-fantastic, origina-gasmic! Thatta boy Attaboy, the world's first and foremost Word Ninja, has wooed, wow-ed, amused and amazed audiences all over the Area of the Bay since he materialized in these area codes"
