The Octopus Scientists by Sy Montgomery

3.0

Grabbed this book at the library because my son is currently obsessed with the Kracken. It sat around the house for about a month. I read some of it - I did not know that octopuses have three hearts and blue blood - they have hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin - so I learned something. But no one else in the house cracked the book.

So when I went to return it I was informed, "do not return the kraken book. Do not check it in."

So for now it is renewed.

Another bonus feature of the book - the photography is fantastic and most of the featured scientists are women. The book is text heavy so I would suggest it to an older reader who might be thinking about a career with animals.
