Product Description:
Peanut butter and jelly. George and Martha. Frog and Toad. Cowboy and . . . Octopus? Yes, that’s right. Meet Cowboy and Octopus—the next great pair to become a household name. Cowboy likes beans’n’bacon and bacon’n’beans. Octopus eats raw seafood. Octopus prefers knock-knock jokes, but Cowboy doesn’t get them. How will these two ever be friends?
Illustrated in funky, vintage-style cut-outs and told in several humorous mini-stories, the famous Stinky Cheese Man duo of Scieszka and Smith have created sweet—and of course hilarious—tales of an unlikely friendship.

My 6-year-old daughter loves this book. Like Cowboy, she also doesn't quite "get" knock-knock jokes but thinks that lettuce knocking on a door is funny.

If I had to sum up this book in one word, that word would almost certainly have to be "quirky". Not a word I like, but an excellent description of this book :)
The book is a series of very short stories about two paper cut-outs, a cowboy and an octopus. (Boy, you weren't expecting that, were you?) Mostly, the vignettes are just pure silliness, but there's an element of "What does it mean ... Read More

I love Jon Scieszka's books--we have most of them on my kids' book shelf--but this one is by far my favorite. I think it is the perfect mixture of simplicity, good underlying messeges about friendship, and humor that an adult can appreciate. My daughter loves it too. Lane Smith's illustrations are also fun and unique. Good job, Jon and Lane! Keep them coming!

There are so many books at the library, that many times, I just grab books for my sons based on the covers. I am so glad I did this with this book. I love the art and the concept - cut-outs and paper art. You can even see the "sticky tape" on the front cover. The pages are rich and the colors are gorgeous. This is definitely a great book for a gift.
The book is divided into very short stories. The stories are hilarious - my 3 and 5 yo sons made me read it 3 times the first time. My 5 yo got the ... Read More
