Octopus's Garden

Illustrated by Ben Cort

About The Book

Pop royalty, Ringo Starr, meets picture book A-lister, Ben Cort!

Based on the lyrics of the world famous Beatles song, this glorious picture book follows five children on a magical journey through the Octopus's garden. The playful Octopus takes them on a wondrous underwater adventure - riding on the backs of turtles, playing pirates in a sunken city and sheltering from a storm in the octopus's cave.

"Beatles fans will lap up the opportunity to introduce children and grandchildren to this picture book version of the song …" Daily Mail

"The pictures are superb." The Times

"Glorious picture book." Sunderland Echo

"Octopus's Garden is a visual delight thanks to Ben Cort's stunning illustrations…The song is so catchy that you'll be singing it long after you've finished the book!" Creative Steps
