Recommendations on Octopus books?

[chip104]

Hi everyone,

my advisor for school has a 7 year old daughter who is in love with octopuses. She ask me if I could recommend any nice UW photography books on the critters.


So I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a book?


I've already been looking at a couple:

http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Octop...10/ref=pd_sim_b_2/102-3543101-8253767?ie=UTF8


Has anyone read any of these? Thanks for any help!

I personally don't know much about octopus books, but check out

http://www.tonmo.com/
The Octopus News Magazine Online

They have some book reviews there and it is a fun place to visit. Lots of cephalopod fanatics.

While it's too much for a 7-year-old, my favorite octopus book is Cephalopods: A World Guide by Mark Norman http://www.amazon.com/Cephalopods-World-Guide-Mark-Norman/dp/3925919325
It's got pictures and descriptions of nearly every known species of octopus & squid, plus information on behavior and life cycles.
