DK Inky the Octopus: Based on a real-life aquatic escape!

My toddler loves inky! The story is super cute and fun to read, it doesn’t get boring (especially when you are forced to read it 194792 times lol). I love that it’s a true story and has facts about inky and other octopus in the end. Also the illustration is so good! The quality of the actual book is great, our copy has been through a lot and is still in great shape! Highly recommend for kids that love sea creatures and the ocean!

We have sat & read this multiple times since it arrived! Fantastic story. Beautiful illustrations. My six year old devoured this!! We laughed so much. Worth the cost, we now have octupus bedding & toyvto go with this.

My toddler absolutely loves this story. We didn’t know this when we bought it but it’s based on a real event and at the end of the book they give some more fun stories about octopus. Well written and fun visuals!

This is based on an actual escape by on octopus from his tank in an aquarium in New Zealand and that makes this wonderful book even more appealing. The illustrations are large and vivid, perfect for capturing the attention of children and grownups. The book is in rhyme and Inky tells us, “ Out of this tank, I must be free. I must explore the open sea!” He laments that he has had fun playing gravel hockey and tentacle tag in his tank but he longs to break free to discover things he’s never known. His tankmate, Blotchy, prefers to remain in his comfy home and “ he doesn’t feel the pull to see the far and great unknown.” We root for Inky as he makes it to freedom in the open sea. The book includes Inky’s true story explained in addition to other true stories of octopus escapes. There are two pages of absolutely delightful and fun facts about octopuses. This is a fantastic book to add to your child’s library, I purchased the hardcover for my three year old grandson and I look forward to reading it to him. Highly recommended as a story of an aquatic animal longing for freedom. The happy true life ending is uplifting, even for grownups.
