Love, Agnes: Postcards from an Octopus
By Irene Latham and Thea Baker
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
Agnes has a beak that can crush bones and arms and stretch wide as a car—but that doesn't make her a monster! After she comes across a postcard, Agnes, a giant Pacific octopus, strikes up a correspondence with various other creatures below—and above—the waves. Readers will delight in this unlikely introduction to the octopus life cycle.
