The Big Book of Octopuses

Celia Svedhem & Filippa Widlund

A deep dive into the oceans! This is the perfect book for those who want to know more about the enigmatic, clever, and fascinating octopus. Did you know that they have three hearts and blue blood? The brain is not concentrated in the head, as it is with us humans, but it is spread over their entire body. And since they lack a skeleton, their bodies are so soft that they can squeeze through small holes like true escape artists! You can read about this and much more in this fact-packed and exciting book, filled with dizzying, colorful underwater illustrations. A book for the whole family!

Celia Svedhem is a psychologist who also works as a freelance writer and literary critic. The Big Book of Octopuses is her book debut. Filippa Widlund is one of Sweden’s most appreciated illustrators of non-fiction books.
