Octopuses are among the most ancient and intelligent creatures on our planet—true aliens whose real-life abilities defy our wildest imaginations.

In this fascinating fact-filled book, dynamic duo Michael Stavarič and Michèle Ganser take readers on a deep-sea expedition to uncover the secrets of the abyss.

• Evolutionary Mysteries: How did octopuses and humans evolve so differently?
• Scientific Discovery: What exactly are cephalopods—and why do they have such a funny name?
• Interactive Exploration: This isn't just a book to read; it’s a book to do! Throughout its pages are interactive elements, from search-and-find spreads with hidden pictures to quizzes and intricate illustrations to bring to life with your own colors.

Combining stunningly original pen-and-ink artwork with the thrill of scientific discovery, Amazing Octopus is as beautiful as it is educational. This deluxe gift for curious minds features a premium paper-over-board cover accented with bright gold foil, housing a world of sophisticated black-and-white and sepia illustrations.
