Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Discover the mysterious, magnificent octopus! Now in an affordable paperback format with CD. (ages 5-8)
Follow a goggle-eyed octopus as she jets through the shadows, long tentacles flying like ribbons behind her. When a mottled wolf eel slips from the shadows, she squirts ink to defend herself. See her seek out a safe and well-hidden den in which to lay her eggs, which will dangle from the roof like grapes on a string. In rhythmic, silky verse that matches this creature's graceful movements, Karen Wallace explores the mysterious underwater world of the octopus. Mike Bostock's flowing illustrations bring that world vividly to life in a book that invites readers on an unforgettable journey of deep-sea discovery.
Back matter includes an afterword, resources for further information, a glossary, and an index.
