Grimpy, a rosy-cheeked dumbo octopus, introduces the special features of many types of cephalopods in this graphic-style overview. But what’s special about Grimpy? The other cephalopods explain that dumbo octopuses are built to live in the deepest water on Earth. The approachable text and friendly pink-, blue-, and red-hued panels effectively and humorously convey the amazing diversity among animals in this group. Appended resources include a glossary, bibliography, further reading, and a photo of a real dumbo octopus.
