"I usually hate 'cuteness' but this book breaks through to even my cold dead heart...Come on, we're
talking about 'a valiant polar bear, daredevil kitten, and big-hearted penguin.' DAREDEVIL KITTEN
awwww...I'm considering making friends with people who have kids, just so I have an excuse to buy,
like, a zillion copies."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"Critter lovers, young and old alike, will fall in love with Meomi's new book series based on the
voyages of their popular gang of explorers... sure to charm its way to the inner child in all of us."
- Venus Zine
"Best Buy: March 2007
The Octonauts has gained an international cult following for its beautifully rendered and vibrant
illustrations (and refreshingly sassy characters)."
- Vancouver Magazine
"The illustrations are simply amazing: colourful digital cartoons that have the mark of becoming
classics. Each page is chock full of details to pore over."
- Art MoCo
"I can now report to you that The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade is just as charming, beautiful, funny,
and adorable as the first Octonauts book. I highly recommend this to children and adults alike -
especially if those adults love intoxicating graphics and mysterious underwater worlds."
- Treehouse Jukebox
"I've been a fan of Meomi for a number of years and it's not surprising that her acquired craft as an
illustrator, her attention to details and the passion shown to illustrating sweetness would take the form
of children books. The characters have each a compelling personality and the story is a voyage in
the realm of a very fertile imagination and the plot unfolds with page after page of visual goodness &
Mind you, if you're a serious illustrator, her books are a must have for study and reference."
- Netdiver magazine
"Exploring the world is almost synonymous with exploring colour...On top of that, the characters in the
book are extremely lovable. With their gently-coloured designs and their excitable curiosity, there's no
doubt that children won't be the only ones falling in love with them, and hoping for more adventures
to come."

The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade is a book for children, and for adults who want to act like children.
The Octonauts are a team of eight adorable creatures who hang out in a bright, colorful,
octopus-shaped city under the sea. In Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy's second Octonaut tale, the
gang must travel to the creepy Sea of Shade to rescue all the world's shadows. The crisply drafted
pages bloom with fascinating detail: every tree, shadow, rock, and animal has an endearing,
individual personality...the book itself is a lush visual treat."
