Octopants: The Missing Pirate Pants

Octopants: The Missing Pirate Pants

by Suzy Senior  / Little Tiger
illustrated by Claire Powell
Hardback, 32pp.

Octopants The Missing Pirate Pants is the silly and sweet follow-up to the Book Trust’s Bookstart Treasure book Octopants.

Now that Octopants has found his unique style, he is on a mission to help Pufferfish find his favourite pirate underpants — that have gone mysteriously missing. Another great twist ending!

Working with illustrator Claire Powell from initial thumbnails to completed colour artwork was a dream.
