(4) 4-6 Animal Abilities series. This clear introduction to octopus intelligence begins with distribution and habitat; moves through subtopics like anatomy, solitary behavior, and surprising abilities to learn and play; and concludes with some rather futile applications to humans ("If you had eight arms..."). Colorful, well-captioned photos and sidebars extend the text, and "How do we know?" boxes explain research in simple terms. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
