Animal-loving kids will devour I'm a Dumbo Octopus!: A Graphic Guide to Cephalopods, Anne Lambelet's charming, colorful, and funny guide to everybody's favorite eight-armed sea creatures.
Grimpy the dumbo octopus knows everything about the other cephalopods in the ocean. Grimpy knows how underwater camouflage works, which octopuses can use tools, and how cephalopods master all kinds of escapes. But Grimpy can't fly like the Japanese flying squid, squirt ink, or produce light. Is there anything that makes a dumbo octopus special?
Not only is I'm a Dumbo Octopus! laden with cool facts--such as the difference between octopus arms and octopus tentacles--but Lambelet's trademark art style makes every squid, octopus, cuttlefish, and nautilus a cuddly friend. Lambelet (Dogs and Their People) uses expressive character design to create a quiet and agreeable fictional story within her work of nonfiction. Backmatter includes a useful guide to the anatomy of a cephalopod as well as a photo of a real dumbo octopus, which is specially "built to survive in one of the deepest, darkest environments on the whole planet!" --Nicole Brinkley, bookseller and writer
