For centuries, sailors have handed down stories of the giant squid. They say this mysterious monster of the deep chases ships and battles whales. They say it can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and that its eyes can be as big as a human head! Are these stories fact or fantasy? Find out in this exciting beginning reader. Review: Perfect for Inquisitive Kid - My son can recite this book. We read as a bedtime story. He is 4- nearly 5 years old. He loves squid and this book has great pictures, great examples (a giant squid stretched across a baseball field!) and scientific facts mixed with the old myths (“scientists say no” this isn’t possible…) I think it’s a little outdated since I think they did get a giant squid on film in 2006? But we talk through that and how scientists keep making discoveries. I thought the talk of dead squid and photos of washed up carcasses would bother him but he is super interested and shows what scientists actually study! Great find - I love this keeps the interest and learning going! Review: Squidtastic - This book was just the thing for my 9 year old son, who loves dinosaurs and monsters of the sea. We read it together, taking turns reading each page. It was informative and exciting for him.

Ocean critters
I bought this book for my 6 year old granddaughter. She loves the book and has read and re-read it many times. She also recently read a shortened version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and was interested in giant squids so this book was a perfect introduction to more on the giant sea creatures and the photos were also great.

Best pictures of all the kids books on Giant Squids
I bought four kids books on squids, including the Smithsonian book. This book has pictures big enough to read to a preschool class. The text has the same information as all the other books, but is clear and concise.
