This is an adorable non-fiction graphic novel for older kids! Easy and interesting facts accompanied by adorable illustrations. Easy to follow the flow of text. Would love to see a whole series of these.
Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the eARC!
I'm a Dumbo Octopus! is a nonfiction graphic novel about cephalopods with Grimpy the dumbo octopus acting as your guide. He tells us all about different skills and features each cephalopod like coconut octopuses, mimic octopuses, and Caribbean reef squids have and why they are beneficial - such as how a Caribbean reef squid can change color to scare other males or attract females and sometimes do both at the same time. Readers are sure to be engaged by the graphic novel format while getting plenty of laughs and even a boost of self-esteem like Grimpy does as they learn.
I LOVE THIS
OBSESSED WITH THE ARTSTYLE
Easy to understand, eye pleasing illustration, very insightful!!!
I'm a Dumbo Octopus! is a book all about octopuses from the perspective of a dumbo octopus. I really enjoyed this book, even as an adult. The illustrations are very cute, while still being informative. I learned a lot of new information about different types of octopuses! It also had a side theme of finding the things that make you unique as an individual. I'd recommend this for middle elementary up due to some of the vocabulary. There are lots and lots of multisyllabic scientific words.
Thanks to Anne, Lerner Publishing Group, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
