"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 "The characters are cuddly and quirky, and the moral of the story is as good as a hug from a dear one saying I love you for the individual you are.' We hope that's a joy you'll never outgrow." -

"While it appears as a deceptively cute children's book...it turns out...to possess the power to destroy the universe if it's not handled properly...The Octonauts is so devastating, it makes The Tribbles Pandemic look about as scary as a pom pom-tipped pen." - DaddyTypes
"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.'... I'm considering making friends with people who have kids, just so I have an excuse to buy, like, a zillion copies." -- SFGate,
