| Abstract | "The solitary and ingenious octopus is a master of disguise and invention, creating her den out of the objects of the ocean, from shells and rocks to tiny glass shards. Using creative methods of hunting and construction, the octopus prepares for the biggest task of her life: motherhood. With one last, poignant gesture of love, the mother octo pus sends her hatchlings on their way, starting a new cycle for the baby octopuses"-- Provided by publisher. |
