Carte - An Octopus Is Amazing, Paperback/Patricia Lauber

`` Here is] a charming introduction to the truly amazing octopusfrom its intelligence to its ability to change colors to the camouflaging black ink it squirts to escape predators]. Lauber's chatty, fact-filled text makes the book a good read-aloud, and Keller's amusing and colorful drawings enhance it--a perfect match of text and illustration.`` --SLJ.
