World Octopus Day

Can you believe today is World Octopus Day?!?!?

I already love it! Since an octopus is my logo, I can’t help but celebrate World Octopus Day today! And if you’re wondering why my logo includes an octopus and an ice cream sundae, check out my post here. Octopuses are really amazing animals – they’re super smart and brilliant escape artists! I’m sure you’ve probably seen some of the videos online, but you can check out the story of Inky from the New Zealand Aquariuam.

If you’re looking to read some books about octopuses, you can check out my link here from my Four on Friday blog post from a few months ago. There are some really cute books out there, especially this new board book, Melville.

And if you’re looking for more really interesting facts about octopuses, check out this article from World Octopus Day last year. Plus, you’ve got to check out this adorable book about a suitably named octopus – Hello, My Name Is… and while you’re learning abotu super cute octopuses, learn more about the Dumbo octopus from Wonderopolis.

I love silly little holidays like this because it gives me a chance to learn more about the world around me! If you have a little (or not so little) one at home who loves to learn, find more of these great holidays and celebrate by doing some research at the local library or online!
