Eight arms. One big picnic. What could go wrong?

On Saturday, Kella the octopus invites Crab, Turtle, and Sea Star for a picnic at Shell Point. "I'll bring everything," she says. After all, she has eight arms

One arm holds the blanket, another the cups. There's a berry bowl, a big blue ball, a shovel, a shell drum, a bundle of flags, and a rainbow kite. With every step something slips, bounces, or goes BONG Kella's friends keep offering to help, but she's sure she can do it all herself. Then the whole picnic tumbles down the shore.
