Oh. My. Gosh. This one - this one is super cute! Not only did I love Inky's story but the science-ysection in the back, with various other celebrity octopi and cephalopod facts, was a great addition. (Also, how cool is it that this is based on a true story?) I needed a book for a reading challenge to tick off my "set in New Zealand" box (this isn't probably what the challenge creator had in mind) but I'm so glad I picked it up randomly on the library app! -- The illustrations are bright, unique, and give each sea creature their own personality - I loved their "shocked" faces as Inky makes his escape. Sidenote: The janitor was probably my favorite human illustration. How adorable - and would make for a great STEM project read along/book!
