Description
Publisher's Description of Lighthouse Family: The Octopus
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant brings the peaceful sounds, sights, and characters of the coast vividly to life in the fifth book of the Lighthouse Family series, in which the family explores the shore with an octopus friend.
Every once in a while, a full moon shines over the lighthouse and causes the tide to recede. For Cloe the octopus, this turns out to be a wonderful opportunity to explore the world that exists outside of his ocean home. As he embarks on his expedition, he encounters the lighthouse family by the beach and they explore the treasures of the uncovered ocean floor together.

Category Description for Lighthouse Family Series
With their homey charm and adorable cast, these ready-for-chapter books are perfect for cuddling up and reading together, or for young readers who prefer a meandering story over a lot of action. In The Storm, we meet Pandora, a lonely cat who dutifully tends to her lighthouse. After a fierce storm, she finds Seabold the dog washed up on the beach and takes him under her care. He decides to stay on for awhile and repair his boat. Before he leaves, however, they rescue a trio of orphaned mice floating about in a crate. Suddenly, they have become a cozy little lighthouse family and no one is lonely anymore. As the little family survives one sea adventure after another, they become closer yet. While not heavy on excitement, these simple books are sweet and enjoyable, with a flavor of Beatrix Potter, according to the School Library Journal. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the story. By Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Preston McDaniels. - Jess
