Resting Our Head, On the Seabeds...

Of all the books for kids based on the Beatles' lyrics, this is by far the best that I've seen. Cute, brightly-colored illustrations that are appropriate and representitive of the "story" told in the song. Just charming. Looking forward to sharing this book--and the music--with the little ones in my life. I expect it to be enjoyed for many years to come.

A Very Cool Journey To A Fantasy Land

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

This beautifully illustrated book takes us on a trip to the mythical octopus's garden deep beneath the sea.

Drawn especially for children -- but very cool for adults as well -- Octopus's Garden celebrates the freedom of being a child and being able to live your dreams: "We would be so happy you and me, no one there to tell us what to do."

The words and pictures express the joy of discovery and the comfort of being with your friends: "Oh what joy for every girl and boy, knowing they're happy and they're safe."

The accompanying CD features Ringo Starr reading the words to young children in a very friendly and reassuring way. There is also an opening message to kids from Ringo, a new recording of the song (no, it's not the Beatles), and an instrumental version for kids to sing along to.

The words to the song were inspired by a story that Ringo Starr was told in 1968 while sailing in the Mediterranean. He wrote the simple, playful words after being told by the boat's captain that octopuses travel along the sea bed and pick up shiny objects and stones which they use to build gardens in front of their caves.

This children's adventure is nicely illustrated by Ben Cort, a talented British artist with a simple, light touch who visually creates the fantasy land that we first heard about on Abbey Road. All in all, there is great humanity and innocence in this book and CD.

Highly Recommended.

Beautifully illustrated . Bought 2 one for each of my own kid's children. Their ages are 1yr, 2.5 year and a newborn. Sort of a special surprise since my adult children loved the song when they were young. I did not realize it came with the cd of Ringo Star himself reading and singing. The pictures of the kids are diverse which is great. I would definitely recommend.

My son loves the Beatles and in particular he loves Ringo Starr. So much so that he dressed up as Ringo Starr for Halloween. We got him this as a birthday present and he loved it. We popped the CD in our stereo and he started to cry as he sang along with Ringo Starr. Great book, thank you!

My 1-3 grade students love me to sing them this book, while they search for the different sea creatures. There is a CD, so that they can hear Ringo sing it through the second time
