An assortment of facts are presented in this charming introduction to the truly amazing octopus. Lauber's chatty, fact-filled text makes the book a good read-aloud, and Keller's amusing and colorful drawings enhance it by depicting exactly what is described on each page--a perfect match of text and illustration. It's an excellent replacement for Evelyn Shaw's Octopus (Harper, 1971; o.p.), which covers much of the same information. Carol Carrick's Octopus (Clarion, 1979), which tells the life cycle of a female octopus in story format, appeals to a slightly older audience. --Eunice Weech, M. L. King Elementary School, Urbana, IL
