Storytime Theme: Octopuses
Let’s start off with yes, that the correct pluralization of the word octopus! I’ve done a few other book lists about octopuses because I find them absolutely fascinating creatures! They are super smart animals using tools, have camouflage that allows not only a change in color, but also texture, and can solve complex puzzles to find food. You can learn more about octopuses on my post over here for World Octopus Day!
