I'm a Dumbo Octopus! : A Graphic Guide to Cephalopods

Picture book creator turned debut graphic novelist Anne Lambelet presents a fun, factually robust look at some of the most gifted creatures under the sea

Meet Grimpy! He’s a dumbo octopus, and he’s taking us on a tour of the whole cephalopod class—underwater creatures such as cuttlefish, nautiluses, octopuses, and squids.

Grimpy knows all about what makes these many-armed marvels so special, like how the coconut octopus uses tools or the cuttlefish talks with color! It seems like every creature has a special ability—except him. When Grimpy gets stuck on everything a dumbo octopus can’t do, the other cephalopods show him why it’s great to be a dumbo.
