Sparks Interest in Octopuses at Young Ages

I checked this book out for my 4 year old (and 2 year old twins) since our booklist recommended it for studying the letter "o". We thought it was interesting and fabulous. We enjoyed the illustrations and the facts. We happened to have also checked out an octopus puppet with which we made up our own stories based on the facts we learned from the book. I found it interesting enough that I guess I hadn't realized that there wasn't a plot. I guess fact is better than fiction!

Octopus's Garden

I liked this book because I learned alot of facts. The pictures were really cool and I liked learning how they disguise themselves and how the mother octopus lays here eggs near her den where she can watch them. It is sad because she dies after the babies hatch. I recommmend this book for all ages.
