Light-Fingered Larry

Author: Jan Fearnley

We find ourselves back in Bottlenose Bay for another swashbuckling adventure, and this time it’s Light-Fingered Larry that is causing all the mischief. The very naughty Octopus goes on a thieving rampage around the Bay, stealing everything he can get his slippery tentacles on. Although his bad behaviour is put to a stop when he gets an almighty shock, finding himself tangled in his own loot bag. As the animals help him to safety he learns a very important lesson. Friendship can be much more valuable than materialistic objects, and learning new skills can be equally as rewarding. Another charming tale from the master storyteller Fearnley, including a fabulous map of Bottlenose Bay!
