Tentacles!: Tales of the Giant Squid

48 pp. | Random | May, 2003 | Library ISBN 0-375-91307-6 $$11.99 | Paper ISBN 0-375-81307-1 $$3.99
(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Bryn Barnard. This easy-to-read book offers facts about the physiology and behavior of giant squid, which have never been observed alive by scientists; it also explains that accounts of the huge mollusks attacking oil freighters and fighting baby whales are likely untrue. Although the book is a good introduction to the topic, it's marred by mediocre art and poorly reproduced photos.
