Written by Laurence Pringle, Illustrated by Meryl Henderson
I love the Strange and Wonderful non-fiction books! Octopuses is another wonderful success. The author covers all the basic information, including: intelligence, anatomy, habitat, defenses, interaction with humans, feeding, reproduction, etc. It looks like an easy non-fiction or picture book with its beautiful watercolor illustrations but it is actually very detailed and has a glossary. Upper elementary students could easily have enough information to write a report or research paper from this book. An engaging and memorable non-fiction book, with a story telling aspect. Can’t wait to see what my students think!
