This seems like a good book， but I would save it for older kids because there's lots to read。 We skimmed it， but didn't have the benefit of looking at photos of octopuses （like most non-fiction books for kids would have） because this book has a lot of vector illustrations of octopuses。 Although certainly artistic and interesting to look at， I'd stick with my recommendation to skip this for kindergarteners but use it in future years。 This seems like a good book， but I would save it for older kids because there's lots to read。 We skimmed it， but didn't have the benefit of looking at photos of octopuses （like most non-fiction books for kids would have） because this book has a lot of vector illustrations of octopuses。 Although certainly artistic and interesting to look at， I'd stick with my recommendation to skip this for kindergarteners but use it in future years。 。。。more

Weer een machtig mooi boek door Owen Davey， ditmaal over octopussen。 Met veel informatie over de dieren， van camouflage to kleuren tot hoe ze jagen， en nog veel meer。 Het boek is maar ongeveer 40 pagina's maar je krijgt enorm veel feitjes en weetjes op een leuke manier。 En dan zijn er nog de prachtige kleurrijke illustraties， daar heb ik ook van genoten。 Zeker een aanrader。 Weer een machtig mooi boek door Owen Davey， ditmaal over octopussen。 Met veel informatie over de dieren， van camouflage to kleuren tot hoe ze jagen， en nog veel meer。 Het boek is maar ongeveer 40 pagina's maar je krijgt enorm veel feitjes en weetjes op een leuke manier。 En dan zijn er nog de prachtige kleurrijke illustraties， daar heb ik ook van genoten。 Zeker een aanrader。 。。。more

Another beautiful book from Flying Eye Books。 Really impressive level of detail in here， my tiny， long-term Octonauts fan has been enjoying finding out The Truth about octopuses and wrapping her head around lots of technical words - the book doesn't talk down to kids and is pretty involved but also explains everything really clearly and makes the subject accessible as well as funny and engaging。 The illustrations are just amazing， I wish I could have them on my walls never mind the childrens roo Another beautiful book from Flying Eye Books。 Really impressive level of detail in here， my tiny， long-term Octonauts fan has been enjoying finding out The Truth about octopuses and wrapping her head around lots of technical words - the book doesn't talk down to kids and is pretty involved but also explains everything really clearly and makes the subject accessible as well as funny and engaging。 The illustrations are just amazing， I wish I could have them on my walls never mind the childrens room！ 。。。more

Owen Davey does it again。 Anyone who has encountered previous title such as Crazy About Cats or Smart About Sharks will recognize his distinctive style when they see Obsessive About Octopuses。 Beyond the incredible illustrations， which are full of color and detail， the facts he manages to pack into the book are fascinating。 Everything from diagrams of an octopus body to details of adaptive camouflage are explained and depicted。 Among other topics of interest， he covers - methods of movement， def Owen Davey does it again。 Anyone who has encountered previous title such as Crazy About Cats or Smart About Sharks will recognize his distinctive style when they see Obsessive About Octopuses。 Beyond the incredible illustrations， which are full of color and detail， the facts he manages to pack into the book are fascinating。 Everything from diagrams of an octopus body to details of adaptive camouflage are explained and depicted。 Among other topics of interest， he covers - methods of movement， defensive adaptations， hunting methods， eggs and hatchlings， and even mythology related to these creatures。 One spread shows a life-size image of a star-sucker pygmy octopus， while also showing a Giant Pacific octopus with a diver next to it for comparison。 Another spread offers awards for the most fashion-minded， most sociable， best on land， and for digging - with explanations of each octopus and why it qualifies as the award winner。For readers who enjoy books about animals， Davey's titles always provide plenty of facts， and brilliant images。 The organization of the book with each spread covering a different topic makes it easy to flip to a particular point of interest， or it can be read cover to cover so that nothing is missed。 The table of contents and index make it easy to track down particular species or subjects。Highly recommended for middle grade readers and up。 I read an e-book provided by the publisher for review purposes。 。。。more

I love this “About Animals” series by Davey。 The art is just stunning。 Simple， geometric shapes somehow become amazing animals and seascapes。 The color palette is mesmerizing。 He stays in the center of the spectrum – no black or white – and the result is pleasing while staying true to his subject。 And， yes， the text lives up to the quality of the art。 Like the art， there is a playfulness about the information， but it never gets too twee。 Fascinating facts about octopuses are arranged by topic， s I love this “About Animals” series by Davey。 The art is just stunning。 Simple， geometric shapes somehow become amazing animals and seascapes。 The color palette is mesmerizing。 He stays in the center of the spectrum – no black or white – and the result is pleasing while staying true to his subject。 And， yes， the text lives up to the quality of the art。 Like the art， there is a playfulness about the information， but it never gets too twee。 Fascinating facts about octopuses are arranged by topic， such as anatomy， ambulation， camouflage， etc。 The writing is clear and simple， but still introduces great terms， such as “benthic，” “aposematism” and “bioluminescence。” Back matter includes a section on octopus mythology and conservation。 The book has a table of contents and an index， making it useful for reports。 。。。more
