I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just love books about animals, and I can always use more books on Octopuses! So this one? I just had to click request! I am so happy I could read this book early because it was oodles of fun!

This book is split up in 4 sections. In the first one we learn all about octopuses (like that the plural is octopuses), but also about tentacles vs arms, what animals fall under the umbrella of octopus, where they live, and more. Next up we learn about survival strategies, camouflage, and other fun octopus daily life facts. Then we meet some of the greatest in octopus categories. From the cutest and smallest to the biggest or ones that live in the coldest regions and how they survive. And then lastly we get some mythology (which I loved) along with interviews (done in a superfun way that made me smile) with people who work with octopuses. And of course, standard for every book about nature, climate change and that. I really enjoyed every facet of the book and I learned some new facts about octopuses. For instance, I didn’t know that there was a difference between arms and tentacles, I thought it was pretty much the same, but apparently tentacles don’t have suckers all over the underside! I also learned about feeding habits. It was great fun and I flew through the book.

I loved that there were facts dotted here and there throughout the book, given some extra information on a subject.

Something that I also loved was the amount of photographs and illustrations! It made the read even more engaging/entertaining/interesting. I just loved seeing the octopus (and its family members) float by!

I do hope that in the final copy of the book they remove the iStock that is all over a lot of the photographs. 🤣

All in all, I would recommend this book to all! It isn’t very long, but it is chockful of information.
