The giant squid is one of the most elusive creatures in the world. As
large as whales, they hide beyond reach deep within the sea, forcing
scientists to piece together their story from those clues they leave
behind.
An injured whale's ring-shaped scars indicate an encounter with a giant
squid. A piece of beak broken off in the whale's belly; a flash of ink
dispersed as a blinding defense to allow the squid to escape-- these
fragments of proof were all we had . . . until a giant squid was finally
filmed in its natural habitat only two years ago.
In this beautiful and clever nonfiction picture book about the giant
squid, Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann explore, both visually and
poetically, this hidden creature's mysterious life.
