[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Accompanied by several fascinating photographs--one showing an octopus using a shell for its home--this book describes the physical characteristics of octopuses as well as how they protect themselves. Although it is highly unlikely that most of us will ever encounter one as we swim, the author suggests looking in tide pools since they sometimes are trapped in those, With its sharp beak and eight tentacles that move all around its environment, this creature is strangely fascinating.
