Description
Picture book creator turned debut graphic novelist Anne Lambelet presents a fun, factually robust look at some of the most gifted creatures under the sea.
Grimpy, a dumbo octopus, sets out to give readers a tour of the whole cephalopod class: cuttlefish, nautiluses, octopuses, and squids. Grimpy knows all about what makes these saltwater-dwelling, many-armed invertebrates so special. Like how the coconut octopus uses tools, or how cuttlefish communicate with color! But when Grimpy gets caught up in everything his kind of octopus can't do, the other cephalopods decide to show him why it's great to be a dumbo.
Review
Grimpy is a Dumbo Octopus, and he takes us on a tour of the underwater world in an ocean full of cephalopods.
Grimpy doesn’t think that he has much use but his friends, who are also all cephalopods, and include cuttlefish, nautiluses, squids and other varieties of octopus, show him why he is an important member of their group.
This book is packed with information on these underwater creatures that will suit all of those younger readers that love to devour facts, especially those that love the ocean. Great for readers aged from seven to eleven years.
