Dive down into the world of the sandy seabed and observe the clever transformations of a very tricky sea creature.
Meet Mim is an exciting new picture book from Sandra Severgnini, author and illustrator of the CBCA shortlisted Grub, and illustrator of the award-winning Tree Beings.
Like Sandra’s earlier works, the mesmerising illustrations in Meet Mim immerse the reader in the marvels of the natural environment. In this new book we take a dive beneath the waves to join a delightful guessing game which showcases the abilities of the little-known mimic octopus.
A master of disguise, the mimic octopus can change colour, shape and skin texture in all kinds of amazing ways.
It deters predators by shape-shifting into creatures that are known to be poisonous, such as the spiked lionfish and the banded sea snake.
It can even imitate jellyfish and sea stars. This book is for everyone from inquisitive young readers who love nature to adults who can still be fascinated. Budding marine biologists will delight in the wealth of accurate detail presented in the illustrations.
Adult and child readers alike will be left with a new appreciation for the life in our precious yet threatened marine environments.
