Description
Agnes has a beak that can crush bones and arms and stretch wide as a car—but that doesn't make her a monster! After she comes across a postcard, Agnes, a giant Pacific octopus, strikes up a correspondence with various other creatures below—and above—the waves. Readers will delight in this unlikely introduction to the octopus life cycle.

'Love, Agnes' is a beautifully illustrated picture book that teaches about the octopus life cycle through a series of postcards between Agnes and other characters. There is added information in the back for further reading, websites, and more details about octopuses (the scientists' preferred term for more than one octopus). I will definitely purchase this for my elementary school library.

The art in this book is beautiful. I love the colors. The story is funny while hitting some sweet notes and teaching a little bit along the way. I laughed several times at the contents of the postcards, sometimes snarky, being sent here and there under the sea. Good extra info about octopuses at the end of the book. Enjoyable read.
