- “Alana the Octopus with a Boo-Boo Leg,” by Ava, age 4
According to the chatty and creative Ava, age 4, ”Alana the Octopus was at school in the ocean and fell off of the sea-swing.” She got “a boo-boo and her teacher put a band-aid on it.” Well, that must have been a Hello Kitty bandage, because Alana looks happily ready to rejoin her classmates on The Octopus Garden playground.
Thank you, Ava, for sharing your colorful multimedia creation with our readers. But before we go, Ava has a burning question for blogopus: “What do octopuses do all day anyway?”
Well, Ava, there’s someone I know who can answer your question: Aly Busse, director of school and public programs at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, and our first guest blogger. Check back later this week for her answer on our inaugural Ask Aly post!
