Fleming, Candace Giant Squid, illustrated by Eric Rohmann. PICTURE BOOK NON-FICTION. MacMillan Publishers (Roaring Brook Press) 2016. $18.99. Content: G.
The giant squid is probably the most illusive, mysterious creature on our planet. Living so deep in the ocean that they have never been studied in their natural habitat - in fact, a live giant squid had never been seen until about 6 years ago. However, scientists have been able to piece together quite a bit of information about them.
Beautiful, full two-page spreads accompany poetic descriptions and questions about them - and even one fold out picture, stretching the picture to 4 pages! Includes a line drawing identifying the giant squids parts, a bibliography, online and print sources, and a single page endnote with a lot of great information. Perhaps one of our young readers will grow up to discover the answer to all of the questions in this book. I sure hope so!
