Inhaltsangabe

"In Deep with the Octopus is filled with interesting information and is worth considering if you need a book about these intelligent and threatened sea creatures." Recommended.
-- CM Magazine

Octopuses are eight-armed, boneless, solitary sea creatures. Some can weigh over 200 pounds while others can be as small as a golf ball. They have taste receptors all over their bodies, and scent receptors on every arm. One kind of octopus can even spit out toxic saliva at its enemies! These complex creatures can solve problems, store memories, recognize shapes and even mimic other creatures.

In this book, young readers can:

• Learn how octopuses shoot ink.
• Explore habitats.
• Find out how octopuses have changed over the centuries.
• Discover the neat tricks they perform.
• Learn what octopuses eat, and what eats them.
• Take a quiz.
