Inky's Great Escape: The Incredible (and Mostly True) Story of an Octopus Escape by Casey Lyall

2.0

After having seen rave reviews, I was surprised at how unimpressed I was by this book. The illustrations are cute, and I know it's based on a (fun) true story, but the plot seemed SO forced and Blotchy and Inky's relationship remained elusive. I also realize this is a kid's book, but I don't think that makes it exempt from good storytelling!
