Rezensionen / Stimmen
"A beautifully illustrated dopamine hit of octopus facts... The point that the depths of the ocean still remain as unknown as outer space is made gorgeously throughout the book by Michele Ganser's star-spangled, otherworldly illustrations. Dive in and be amazed." - The Times, Children's Book of the Week (UK)
"This book not only is beautiful, but, when you read it, you will realize that the octopus, the Amazing Octopus, is also a thing of beauty. Anyone who reads this book will certainly want to learn more about this fascinating, and amazing, sea creature." - Children's Literature
