Emile: The Helpful Octopus

First published in 1960, this quirky French classic is available for the first time in English. When a famous deep-sea diver is menaced by a hungry shark, an octopus named Emile comes to the rescue. The diver, Captain Samofar, and our elastic-limbed hero strike up a friendship that leads to the biggest adventure yet, on dry land and under the sea.
