Cephalopods couldn’t be more fascinating if they tried; what a majestic group of animals, and none so spectacular as the octopus. The Escape Artist is the true story of Inky, a Māori octopus who was on display at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. While Inky was friendly with aquarium workers, he was driven to explore, resulting in his return to the ocean. A fun,  rhyming story about a wonderful animal and sure to delight anyone who reads it. Back matter includes some additional information about Inky and general facts about octopuses.
