Gentle Giant Octopus: Read and Wonder

Average rating
4.1 out of 5
Based on 19 Ratings and 12 Reviews

Book Description
Follow a goggle-eyed octopus as she jets through the shadows, tentacles flying behind her. Finally she finds a well-hidden den in which to lay her eggs, which will dangle from the roof like grapes on a string. In silky verse, Karen Wallace explores the mysterious world of the octopus, while Mike Bostock's flowing illustrations bring that world vividly to life.
