Product Description
When Nico rescues an octopus caught in a fisherman's net, his parents think it's a strange choice of pet. Nico keeps it in a tank, feeds it crabs and small fish and soon discovers that his octopus is extremely clever - amazing, amusing and always surprising. It can pull a cork from a bottle and drill a hole in a shell with its beak. But the worst thing in the world happens: Nico's octopus gets ill, and when his friend the old fisherman tells him why, it's sad news, but wonderful too...

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful book to teach about the octopuses.   January 20, 2007
I read this book to my Pre-K class of 4 and 5 year olds, to teach about octopuses. My students really enjoyed the story and were able to learn so much about this really intelligent and interesting animal. The pictures in this book are beautiful and realistic. Many of my students chose this book off our library shelf to look at and enjoy the pictures after we had read the story. They also had so many questions and comments to make throughout the day! My thanks to this author!
