5 An Octopus has more brain cells than a human stars!!

This is not my normal type of book. However whenever I saw it was available for request I could only think one thing… how much my kids would enjoy it.  The outside of the book would normally not draw that much attention but I love the pictures on the inside. Here’s some examples…

While I thought this book would definitely catch my kids attention it also held mine for a long time.  If you just need a quick break for your brain .. this was super cute to flip through and find out new information about a wild array of animals. My children have been walking around for days saying “mom did you know??” It’s also a great conversation starter.  I would buy this for other families too.

Thank you blogging for books for my copy of this book.
