Based on the true story of an octopus who escaped from the National Aquarium of New Zealand, Inky the Octopus is an adventure your child will love. Inky makes her escape when the lid of her tank is inadvertently left ajar.

The illustrations are bright and Inky is engaging. Young children will enjoy the story and in the back of the book there are photographs of the real Inky.

I recommend this picture book for children of all ages—especially those who like sea creatures.
