The Incredible Octopus is a nonfiction look at octopuses aimed at ~7-10 year old readers by Erin Spencer. Released 16th April 2024 by Hachette on their Storey imprint, it's 72 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a vibrantly illustrated book *full* of fascinating information about octopuses and their environments. There are short chapters also showing scientists who study them, from their neurology and development through their habitats and behaviors. It's illustrated in color throughout, and information is written in accessible language which is easy to understand.
Five stars. Aimed at 7-10 year olds (grades 2-5), it would be a superlative choice for public or school library acquisition, home use, or gift giving. There are fascinating takeaways for all ages to be found here.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
