Octopus Emile rescues a deep-sea diver, who then invites Emile to live with him. Emile awes swanky party guests with his musical skills (he can play all parts at once, given his eight arms). He misses his undersea home, though, so he gets a job as a lifeguard. The story swings into action when Emile captures smugglers while simultaneously driving the police boat they've nabbed (those eight arms!). Emile's many talents and kindly green face will surely endear him to a new generation of readers. An ever-fresh Ungerer classic.
