I have read the book "World of Wonders..." by Aimee Nezhukumatathil and I enjoyed it very much. I also had the pleasure of attending an interview of her and the book signing event involving "World of Wonders..." that followed. Both events were sponsored by the Indianapolis Public Library. I had previously read a library copy of her book, but I purchased my own copy at the event and she spoke with me briefly as she signed it. She asked me which animals in the book were my favorites. I answered that my favorites were the vampire squid and the cassowary. She asked if I had looked up more information about these animals. I said yes. She asked what I had learned. I responded that I was fascinated to learn that the vampire squid may be the longest lived species among squids or octopuses. She smiled and said that she really loved learning about the vampire squid and that she could write a whole book about it! I thanked her very much for writing the book and for teaching me some new things about some very interesting species. One more anecdote about my experience was the way she wrote my name into the book. Her cursive style is very artistic and my name was beautifully rendered, almost like calligraphy. It was truly a pleasure to meet her!
