Read and find out about the amazing octopus in this colorfully
illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Where can you find 1,920 suction cups? Under the ocean on a common
octopus! That's 240 suction cups on each of its eight arms. And if an
octopus loses an arm, it will eventually grow another one. Read and find
out about the many other ways an octopus is amazing.
"A charming introduction to the truly amazing octopus. Lauber's chatty,
fact-filled text makes the book a good read-aloud, and Keller's amusing
and colorful drawings enhance it--a perfect match of text and
illustration." --School Library Journal
