I loved this book about the fascinating story of a real octopus' journey from the ocean, to an aquarium, and miraculously back into the ocean again. The illustrations were cute and I also enjoyed the facts and real photograph of the octopus in the back of the book.

Inky's story was very cute. I love that octopuses were curious animals and Inky's story is a proof of that. The illustrations are fun, colorful and feature many sea creatures throughout. There are also cool octopus facts at the end of the book that I really enjoyed.

Bought this as a gift for my wife (and her students) and because I love Sy Montgomery's stories. The book slips in a lot of fun information about octopuses, and has a lot of fun illustrations filled with a lot of details that will be sure to entertain and provide plenty to talk about.

A fun story about a very curious octopus. Inky the octopus escaped from the National Aquarium in Wellington, New Zealand. Inky had been brought there after being caught in a lobster trap by a fisherman. Injured and young, he was kept at the aquarium but not for long! Inky escaped through a small drain pipe in the floor that lead back into the ocean. Making international news, Inky became a superstar!
