Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod | Brian Kesinger

OMG, this is freaking adorable! A steampunk-inspired Victorian guide to owning a cephalopod. Written and drawn by a Disney-trained animator, this is just a delightful read. The follow-up Traveling with Your Octopus is equally cute. Got it through an interlibrary loan, which is great because they weren't available in PA when I lived there.

Friends! This was an unexpectedly charming little book with exquisitely detailed panoramic illustrations and helpful tips on raising a happy, healthy cephalopod 😁

Otto and Victoria were darling!
And the good news is, there's a sequel!

DivineDiana I love this! 7y

Librariana @DivineDiana - I did, too, Diana! It was catalogued as a non-fiction book by the library, but it definitely made me feel like it was a picture book for grown ups 😄 It had lots of interesting morsels of information and the steampunk-style artwork by Kesinger was pretty superb! 7y
