Review: they can learn things and solve problems - interesting and funny facts and how smart they are Review: This book is "Amazing"! - I stumbled upon this book at my grandkids' house when reading with them. This book is just wonderful for young children and old children alike. I learned a lot myself about the octopus and found the book so interesting and fun to read I bought a few copies online to give as gifts. I am a quiltmaker and made a quilt with some octopus fabric, attached the book and donated it to the local children's hospital. I also gave the book with the leftover octopus fabric made into a pillow case for a friend's five year old. She said he made her read the book over and over again. It looks to me like these come in a series with other subjects. If I had young children I would absolutely check them all out. Well done!!! ## Features - hands-on and visual - acclaimed and trusted - great for classrooms - Entertain and educate at the same time - Have appealing, child-centered topics - Developmentally appropriate for emerging readers - Focused; answering questions instead of using survey approach - Employ engaging picture book quality illustrations - Use simple charts and graphics to improve visual literacy skills - Feature hands-on activities to engage young scientists - Meet national science education standards - Written/illustrated by award-winning authors/illustrators & vetted by an expert in the field ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #124,893 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #155 in Children's Oceanography Books #168 in Children's Water Books (Books) #202 in Children's Biology Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 319 Reviews | ## Images ![An Octopus Is Amazing (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zPf0vbWDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ they can learn things and solve problems *by M***Y on June 13, 2026* interesting and funny facts and how smart they are ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is "Amazing"! *by S***. on July 8, 2012* I stumbled upon this book at my grandkids' house when reading with them.

My 5 year old daughter enjoyed the illustrations and was able to remember many of the octopus facts from the story. We like non-fiction (especially biology-based) so this story was a big hit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/4475301-an-octopus-is-amazing-lets-read-and-find-out-science](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/4475301-an-octopus-is-amazing-lets-read-and-find-out-science) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
