BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
Inky the octopus has lived an playful, yet quiet life in a tank in a New Zealand aquarium. One night his lid is left open just enough that he can squish through and escape!
While based on Inky’s true story - Hanson attributes lots of thoughts to Inky that are no way verifiable. Share this with a class and look up octopus escapes on youtube - lots of them to enjoy! Written in rhyme, which did not bother me at all, for once. I didn’t even notice until halfway through.
