Perfect for fans of Remarkably Bright Creatures or anyone who enjoyed My Octopus Teacher, this little book offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most distinctive animals on the planet

Did you know an octopus can fit through a gap as small as a penny, but some can grow longer than a bus? Or that some species pack enough poison to kill humans within minutes? Or that they can problem-solve, navigate mazes and open locks, and that they can even have a favourite toy?

With their remarkable behaviours and unique anatomy, it's hardly surprising that octopuses have captivated our imagination for centuries. But there is so much more to this misunderstood and spellbinding creature. Unravel the secrets of this astonishing animal and explore its mystifying world with The Little Book of the Octopus.

With this book, you will discover how octopuses utilize their three hearts and blue blood, how their highly developed nervous system endows them with extraordinary intelligence, how they regenerate their limbs, and so much more. Learn about the rich folklore and myths that surround them, from ancient maritime legends to symbolic meanings across cultures, and journey through their diverse habitats and history.

Whether you're a marine biology enthusiast or just curious about these astounding cephalopods, dive in and uncover the magic and mystery of the octopus.
