Octopi are the coolest smartest invertebrates ever! I loved this informative picture book with fantastically interesting facts about my favorite creature the octopus. If you haven't thought much about this ocean dweller you will after reading this book. I can't wait to go to facthound.com and learn more (link and information found on the last page). Kids and adults alike will LOVE this book.
