(2) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Schimler-Safford. Real octopus Inky was caught in a Pacific Ocean lobster trap and transferred to a seemingly blissful life at a New Zealand aquarium. Yet when the opportunity arises, Inky squeezes himself through a loose tank cover gap, into a drainpipe, and out into the Pacific, where he (presumably) lives today. Montgomery weaves detailed science into Inky's story. Schimler-Safford's brightly colored illustrations effectively hint at Inky's intelligence. Reading list.
