| Publisher Description: 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. |
