I'm a Dumbo Octopus!
A Graphic Guide to Cephalopods
Age 7+
Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
Picture book creator turned debut graphic novelist Anne Lambelet presents a fun, factually robust look at some of the most gifted creatures under the sea.
Grimpy, a dumbo octopus, sets out to give readers a tour of the whole cephalopod class: cuttlefish, nautiluses, octopuses, and squids. Grimpy knows all about what makes these saltwater-dwelling, many-armed invertebrates so special. Like how the coconut octopus uses tools, or how cuttlefish communicate with color! But when Grimpy gets caught up in everything his kind of octopus can't do, the other cephalopods decide to show him why it's great to be a dumbo.
