In the summer of 2015, an adorable new species of octopus was discovered on the ocean floor--this picture book story imagines how this cute creature got his name. <p/>Deep down in the water lives an octopus small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. But he doesn't have a name! Anglerfish is named for his hook like an angler, Mimic Octopus for her ability to change shape and color, and Giant Squid is GIANT! But this little guy doesn't have the same abilities as the other creatures. What could his name be? With Marisa Polansky's sweet text and Joey Chou's dynamic illustrations, <i>Hello, My Name Is...</i> imagines how the cutest creature in the sea got his name. The story includes a note from a scientist about the naming process and more information about Adorabilis.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Disney artist Chou's digital illustrations are the draw here.
