Are Octopuses from Another World?

Part of the Big Questions Answered series, ARE OCTOPUSES FROM ANOTHER WORLD explores the amazing abilities octopuses possess as well as whether they are Earthly beings or otherworldly.

This book covers many of the interesting aspects of octopuses that make them seem like creatures from another planet. Multiple hearts, limbs with brains, camouflage, and so much more. I love learning more about animals and octopuses have always been an interesting subject because they feel so different from other creatures.

The artist for this book, Valeria Abatzoglu, draws really clean illustrations that showcase the skills and information being presented. Much of the background is blue, but the creatures and details still stand out even when using similar colors.

There is a glossary and pronunciation guide at the back of the book for younger readers who may not fully understand the topic of teuthology. This additional information provides a bridge between the suggested age range (kids 5 to 9) and the actual language used in the book. It allows even younger readers, or those reading at lower levels, to still understand the information being presented.

ARE OCTOPUSES FROM ANOTHER WORLD is yet another amazing book in the Big Questions Answered series. Showcasing a myriad of talents and curiosities about the octopus, this is a solid read for those interested in the strange creatures that roam amongst humans.
