What do the ocean and space have in common?
How did octopuses and humans evolve?
What exactly are cephalopods - and why do they have such a funny name?

Octopuses are the oldest and most intelligent creatures on our planet, true aliens whose abilities amaze us. Michael Stavaric and Michèle Ganser have created a non-fiction book full of surprising twists and turns that offer much more than just imparting knowledge. Together with their readers, they embark on an adventure into the world of the octopus.

Full of funny details and vivid descriptions, Amazing Octopus is a book that is as unusual as the octopus itself.

“A beautifully illustrated dopamine hit of octopus facts… The point that the depths of the ocean still remain as unknown as outer space is made gorgeously throughout the book by Michèle Ganser’s star-spangled, otherworldly illustrations. Dive in and be amazed.” —The Times, Children’s Book of the Week (UK)

"This book not only is beautiful, but, when you read it, you will realize that the octopus, the Amazing Octopus, is also a thing of beauty. Anyone who reads this book will certainly want to learn more about this fascinating, and amazing, sea creature." - Children's Literature
