This book is part of a whole series covering fish, reptiles, mammals, birds, amphibians and insects. "How to Hide an Octopus" is one of the better books in the series, and not a bad place to start if you haven't tried them before. If you do have another one, this is certainly a good member of the series. Some of the fishes are very difficult to find (Even I took a few tries to find all of the pipefish). My son like "How to Hide a Butterfly" better, possibly because this one is a little difficult (He's only 2). If your child is older, this may be a good choice.
I have loved this book since I was 6-years-old. For some reason, it's one of the few books I remember being read aloud to me! I am buying a copy for my own children, because I no longer have my childhood books. So, maybe I gave it 5 stars for a sentimental reason, but if I remember it so well after 22 years, it must be good.
I agree that this is one of the better ones in the series. Finding the animals camouflaged was a challenge at times and thus a greater feeling of success when found. I must confess a few of the wording choices were awkward, but overall very pleased. Wish it was available in a hardback.
We read this story as part of an "O-o-octopus" unit for our homeschool kindergarten. My 5 year old daughter enjoyed the illustrations and was able to remember many of the creature facts from the story. We like non-fiction (especially biology-based) so this story was a big hit.
I gave this out a goodie bag treat for my 4 year old son's "Octonauts" themed birthday party. My son loves this book and it was cheap enough I could get 20 of them for the goodie bags. I was suprised with the quality considering it was only about $5.
Very nicely illustrated book for young readers. This book explores creatures who live deep in the sea.
My three year old daughter is pretty picky about her books- she will read them once or twice and then never again. This is one she will ask for over and over and then pretend to read to us. My favorite part is her pronouncing "sargassum fish."
Very cute book and teaches kids to search for different animals in the sea, I like that they used a variety of animals and not the same ones you see all the time. My son loves it and he is 3
