Review:
The creators of the award-winning Think of An Eel. Karen Wallace and Mike Bostock, turn their attention to one of the most fascinating creatures beneath the sea--the octopus. As Gentle Giant Octopus moves through her watery home, Wallace and Bostock capture the essence of the beast as she searches for a place to lay her eggs, allowing the reader to discover how she uses her tentacles, why she squirts ink and the incredible care she takes over her babies.
Review:
Stunning illustration and a subtlety of writing that delivers educational information in a comfortable and lyrical manner makes Gentle Giant Octopus a great book for sharing and learning together. (Ages 4 and over)--Susan Harrison
"Full of facts and surprises... a distinguished array of artists and authors, and a (narrative) approach more serendipitous than encyclopaedic. Each book has an entirely original slant on its subject." The Guardian "The best information books are so interesting that they make you want to find out more. The Read and Wonder books do just that." Margaret Meek, Emeritus Reader, Institute of Education, University of London
