Giant Squid

Candace Fleming, illustrated by Eric Rohmann

Giant Squid examines an animal that lives so deep in the ocean that few people have seen one. Scientists assemble what they know from clues and from partial remains, often found inside sperm whales caught by fishermen. The narrative considers the giant squid’s deep-sea life, its former reputation as a sea monster, and its defensive ink when threatened. An author’s note adds further information.
