(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nilesh Mistry. Nico rescues an octopus from a fishing net and makes it his pet. Details about octopus life are smoothly worked into the modest story, and Nico learns a hard lesson when the octopus dies after laying her eggs. The simple text is illustrated with pale art evoking a Mediterranean setting.
