ReviewedArmed with intelligence, eight arms, and a beak, octopuses amaze scientists and students alike. Octopuses often decorate their dens with shells. Some have been observed tapping their prey on the shoulder to surprise them before chowing down. Others may completely disappear with camouflage. Young readers will surely dive into this awe-inspiring title!
An excellent series for adept young readers that focuses on ocean animals including sea stars, sea horses, stingrays, and many others. Chock-full of interesting details, weird facts, helpful diagrams, and color photographs, these books offer plenty of information for reports or general browsing. The writing here is engaging but does employ longer sentences and more advanced vocabulary, making these titles perfect for those ready to move on from early readers. Highlights include an eye-catching layout and a species spotlight “Catch of the Day” sidebar that shows what each creature feeds on. VERDICT Highly recommended for collections interested in aquatic life.
