The coral reefs so colorful. The deep sea caves are dark and cozy.So what is Milo missing?Come along with Milo, a small yellow octopus, as he hatches from his egg and begins to explore the vast ocean. He’s sure he’s missing something, but he can’t quite figure out what it could be. And so he sets off on an ocean adventure, swimming way down deep to explore sunken shipwrecks and traveling from shore to shore, befriending polar bears and jellyfish along the way.

Young ocean fans will love this simple aquatic mystery and delight in the big reveal of what he’s been missing–his family!
