Inky was born in the ocean. He suffers an injury and is found by a fisherman in New Zealand. He is taken to an aquarium to heal and grow. His curiosity leads him to escaping back home into the ocean.
Such a cute story and so much information about octopi. I did not realize until the end that this was based off a real story where the octopus escaped back into the ocean. I think kids will love Inky and his adventures along with all the fun facts about octopi.
