Review

This is a very informative book about octopuses for young readers. There are nice illustrations throughout, but it would be better if there were a few more labels on the illustrations. The book is only 32 pages in length, but is packed with lots of octopus information. A fun feature of the book is the find the octopuses part. In this section the artist has drawn the ocean floor and several octopuses are hidden in the area. It is a great way to illustrate just how well camouflaged an octopus can be. This would be a nice choice for young readers wanting to know more about octopuses.

Overall Book Score: very good
