Enjoy the four original hardcover Octonauts storybooks that launched the hit animated TV show worldwide! Plus, the collectible box includes a bonus fold-out poster.

The Octonauts are a crew of adorable animals who explore the oceans in search of adventure and fun! From their undersea base called "the Octopod," the Octonauts explore a vibrant world full of thrills, chills, and gills. The crew of eight talented critters, including Tweak Bunny, Dr. Shellington, Dashi Dog, and Tunip the Vegimal, is always ready to embark on a new exciting voyage.

This special Underwater Adventures box set includes the four original hardcover books that inspired the popular animated television series:

  • The Octonauts & the Only Lonely Monster
  • The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade
  • The Octonauts & the Frown Fish
  • The Octonauts & the Great Ghost Reef

These unique, amazingly illustrated, and endearing stories have never been adapted into TV episodes. Plus, the handy box set includes a special 10" x 24" poster created by Meomi.

Combining the instant appeal of Hello Kitty with the intrepid spirit of Jacques Cousteau, the Octonauts will entertain and delight children, while adults will appreciate the stylish design and subversive humour. Lushly layered and brightly coloured illustrations create a teeming undersea universe that will dazzle readers' eyes, inspire their imaginations, and tickle their funny bones.

Called "charming and beautifully-designed" by comics scholar Scott McCloud, Meomi's winsome cast of characters have attracted an international audience, from kids, parents, and teachers to digital artists and fashion designers. What is their next mission? Stay tuned for the next Octonauts adventure to find out! Immedium's original four books inspired the popular animated television series that is broadcast on Disney Junior and Netflix and in more than 100 countries around the globe.

"In a brilliant blend of fantasy and fiction, Meomi entertains and educates... The core focus of each story is exploration and the protection of the natural environment. It is clear through these tales that Meomi works to accomplish this through the education of young minds. Make something familiar and friendly, teach a little as you weave a narrative, and you promote great understanding and appreciation." - GeekMom, Wired magazine
