Octopus Escapes! by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer

4.0

I obtained a digital review copy via Edelweiss. What is it about octopus escape stories? I believe this may be the third one I've read this year, based on some true stories. I have always had a fascination about octopi (and noticed that the author used 'octopuses' instead). This one is a somewhat whimsical tale told in rhyming couplets. You might ask students what they think goes on in a zoo/aquarium/museum after hours. There is an explanatory page about real escapes at the end.
