We read as a bedtime story. He is 4- nearly 5 years old. He loves squid and this book has great pictures, great examples (a giant squid stretched across a baseball field!) and scientific facts mixed with the old myths (“scientists say no” this isn’t possible…) I think it’s a little outdated since I think they did get a giant squid on film in 2006? But we talk through that and how scientists keep making discoveries. I thought the talk of dead squid and photos of washed up carcasses would bother him but he is super interested and shows what scientists actually study! Great find - I love this keeps the interest and learning going! Review: Squidtastic - This book was just the thing for my 9 year old son, who loves dinosaurs and monsters of the sea. We read it together, taking turns reading each page. It was informative and exciting for him.

Ocean critters
I bought this book for my 6 year old granddaughter. She loves the book and has read and re-read it many times. She also recently read a shortened version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and was interested in giant squids so this book was a perfect introduction to more on the giant sea creatures and the photos were also great.
