Ollie the Octopus Bedtime Mysteries

Craig Bettenhausen

About

Many nights, I tell my daughters a bedtime story starring Ollie the Octopus, a private eye who lives in Baltimore and is an octopus. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they meander, sometimes the plots are lifted, sometimes we fall asleep. Unscripted stories that maybe you'll like too.
