Love, Agnes

Postcards from an Octopus

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

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.

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Though Latham’s story is thoroughly fantastic, both author and illustrator have been respectful to this amazing creature, describing realistic behaviors and depicting her relatively accurately, right down to the rectangular pupils of her eyes and her senescent color change. . . . [F]or reading aloud or reading alone.”—Kirkus Reviews
