With unique illustrations on each page, this book shares fun and interesting facts about octopuses, like that the largest octopus was 600 pounds! The text uses simple, vivid language with sidebars and back matter to provide more detailed information.

This book has lots of great information and is set up in such a fun way. Each page gets an attribute of an octopus and then gives more description beneath the attribute. The illustrations are also beautiful and details, which is great because there are not photos of any real octopus until the end of the book. This book would be great for a read aloud on sea life if you were to use small sections of it based off what attributes students are asking about.
