Many Things Under a Rock: The Mysteries of Octopuses (Young Readers Edition)

192 pp. | Norton | January, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781324019992 $18.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Laurel Scheel. Adapted from an adult book by the same name, this title invites readers into the fascinating world of octopuses. In straightforward yet vivid language, a scientist who specializes in octopuses describes the creatures’ many unique qualities, such as the biological adaptations that make them superior hunters and hiders, their apparent ability to recognize and relate to one another, and even the possibility that they dream while asleep. Occasional line drawings break up the text. The level of included detail makes this most appropriate for very devoted octopus admirers; a glossary, source notes, and index (unseen) are included.
