The title says it all -- an Octopus interacts with a person!

A delightful book for a child or an adult! I bought it for my eight year old grand daughter, but enjoyed reading it myself. Who would have thought that an octopus would recognize and interact with a person!Read full review

Good science writing

Thoroughly enjoyable.
Personalizes the author's investigation of octopus.
Motivated me to go to an aquariam (Baltimore) & countless YouTube videos.
I'll never eat calamari again.

Soul of an Octopus is a perfect title

In describing her experiences and observations, the author educates the reader on the many characteristics of Octopuses, their chemistry, behavior and varied "personalities"
Very enjoyable book

Octopuses are amazing!

This book had interesting and amazing info about sea creatures on every page. I laughed and cried while learning about the octopus and how “human” they are, how intelligent. I don’t usually read nonfiction, but I recommended this book to all my friends. Read full review
