"Codley and the Big Storm - Together We Can" by Lisl Fair is one of at least 3 books about Codley and his adventures under the sea. Codley is a friendly and well-liked octopus, who is safe and sound in his home under the sea, while a fierce storm rages on the surface. But when the storm is over, Codley is shocked to see how much everything has changed on the ocean bottom, too.With the voluntary cooperation of many other sea creatures, Codley's home is soon in better shape than ever! All the animals learned that even a daunting task like the one they faced, was soon completed when everybody cooperated and lent a hand - or a fin, a tentacle, or a claw.This is a book that is very properly formatted for a Kindle Fire held in the portrait, or upright, position. If held in the horizontal mode, the text and images do not correlate well. When read on a regular black and white Kindle, the marvelous colorful illustrations are precluded from adding another whole dimension of entertainment to the story. I expect the Kindle for PC app would also work well for showing this book to its best advantage.Your kids will love Codley. You will be reading this bedtime story so often you may commit it to memory! I highly recommend it.
