This review is from: Octopuses (Nature Watch) (Library Binding)
Ron Hirschi's _Octopuses_ is an excellent introductory book on the topic. It would make a good book on the subject for a 9-12 year old. However, because difficult terms (i.e. radula, cirri, chromatophores) are defined in the text, I think that even younger readers won't have much trouble with this book. Advanced science readers will be fascinated with the more in-depth facts and description of the octopus' life cycle and other details. The photography in this book is simply marvelous. No one will complain about these images; they accompany the text appropriately, and the book is worth looking through a second time just to gawk at the photos. The writing is awkward at times, but that can't take much away from this book, when the text content and photography are SO strong. This would be an excellent book for a young octopus lover! ken32

My 4-yo has had us reading this book to him almost daily for the last two weeks. We don't read all the text every time, since it's far beyond him. However, he's extremely familiar with the content and captions at this point.
The photographs are extremely clear. The text is informative and direct. The content is age-appropriate for the target audience (the 8+ group). I recommend this book for children who are readers or are willing to be read to. I'm not sure what will happen when we have to return "Octopuses" to the library! |
