The Nature Kid's Guide to Octopuses: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Octopuses! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181109)

If your child loves strange, super-smart animals, octopuses are the most alien creatures on our own planet. These boneless escape artists have three hearts, blue blood, and arms that can think on their own, with two-thirds of their brain cells living outside their head.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Octopuses" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know how these incredible animals outsmart everything in the ocean. How can a 50-pound octopus fit through a two-inch hole? Why do they squirt ink shaped like their own bodies to fool predators? And how do mothers guard their eggs for seven months without eating a single meal?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that octopuses can jet through water at 25 miles per hour, lay up to 200,000 eggs at once, and open jars from the inside. They'll learn how the mimic octopus copies over 15 different animals, how babies are born knowing how to hunt on their very first day, and how each suction cup can taste and grip at the same time.

A book for kids who love mysterious sea creatures and the underwater world they call home.

One octopus. One wild ocean. A whole book full of mind-blowing secrets your child will want to share.

The Nature Kid's Guide series makes learning about nature an adventure, one animal at a time.
