Book SynopsisIf you are silly about squid or just daft for amazing animals of the deep, dive in for a fact-packed illustrated journey into the ocean. Did you know that an octopus has three hearts and a doughnut-shaped brain? You'll discover that these incredible creatures are super-smart and have great survival skills. From the truly terrifying giant Pacific octopus to the inventive common octopus, find out where members of this eight-armed family live, what they eat and how we can protect them.
Trade ReviewOwen Davey's sixth book in this brilliant nonfiction series (others in the series take a deep dive into learning about monkeys, sharks, beetles, cats and frogs) is as insightful, fascinating and beautifully designed as the rest, with a perfect amount of well-selected information for mid and upper primary school children. * BookTrust *
The text is genuinely absorbing. The language is pitched at readers from age 9+; there is a lot of information that will be new to young and old alike. * Just Imagine *
Young readers will be attracted, I am sure, to this addition to the 'About' series and will be absorbed by its contents. -- Nikki Gamble * Exploring Children's Literature *
