The Krillionaire Storybook Edition is an educational children's storybook with a text-based story featuring 2D images of story characters on each of it's 40 scenes. Scenes are 1 to 3 pages each. This is an eBook for all ages. Krillionaire tells the educational story of one Blue Whale family and their adventures in the Ocean off the California Coast. The ecology of our planet is viewed through this Blue Whale family and their undersea friends, including Sea Turtles, Angelfish, Seals, Triggers, Dolphins, Tangs, Sharks, Groupers and Butterflyfish. The narrator of the story is a Blue Whale, and this exciting adventure is seen through his close encounters and observations of events that unfold while he is teaching his young brothers the Blue Whale skills of breaching and searching for Krill, a primary food source for Blue Whales.
During their undersea journey, the Blue Whale brothers discover that Krill is no longer available and none of the Sea Creatures who eat Krill have access to it. When he and his brothers accidentally happen upon an Orca Killer Whale and his ally the Great White Shark, they soon overhear of a plan to control the undersea world's Krill supply!
As the Orca unveils the details of his plan to his Great White Shark henchman, the brother’s spy upon the greedy Orca and hear how he plans to use a Shark Brigade to control all Krill, and thus cause an upset in the allocation of the natural resources of the Ocean. The brothers are discovered and confronted by the Orca and his Shark henchman about their spying and are sent back to their grandfather, a wise old Blue Whale leader, the 100 year old patriarch of the Blue Whale Pod, with an important message.
The three brothers return to see their grandfather at his ancient undersea temple lair, and they tell him and his trusted and wise advisor and friend, the ancient sea turtle, of the greedy plan to control Krill resources oceanwide. They then enlist all of the sea creatures and working together they all devise a brilliant plan and to thwart this greedy hoarding of the Krill, and to return the natural balance of Krill in the ocean waters, and to restore peace, fairness and order to all Undersea Life.
The greedy Orca is confronted by the Blue Whale leader, and the events that follow show the results of what happen when greed and lies are confronted by those who value a system of honesty and fairness. The world can do without the trickery of those who hoard more assets than they need for their families, just because they can. Those who make up reasons to suppress all of the other members of society are just fooling themselves, no one being can control the destiny of all other beings on this planet.
The book is beautifully illustrated on each of it's 40 scenes with vibrant 2D grayscale renderings of our Undersea Kingdom characters by Digital Artisans at MindTaffy Design, who have created internationally acclaimed 2D and 3D content over the past 20 years for industry leaders such as Sony, Tyco and Samsung.

Our hope is that parents around the world will read this book to their children, who can view the pictures and gain an understanding of respect for this planet and its many resources. Each person shares that responsibility to deal with honesty and fairness, whether it's undersea or above sea level.
My 8 year old daughter found the 2-D book to be entertaining. I am looking forward to the next edition. The information was educational and enjoyable. I would recommend it for anyone!
This is a book with a serious message incorporated into an engaging story line. Not too distressing, but not "sugar coated" either. As the adventure continues, a great deal of information is presented about the various sea creatures, highlighting their special needs and abilities. A good starting point for parent-child discussions about sharing, helping others, and preserving natural resources. Older children can appreciate the comparisons to the structure of a society and the need to try to establish equal access to available resources for everyone. All in all, a unique, multi-level educational tool along with an entertaining story.
I recently read this book on my Android based Kindle App. I found it to be extremely well written with plenty of clever innuendos and a healthy portion of wit. The book is very entertaining. Children's stories tend to be shorter than adult novels and therefore it is hard to develop characters in a reader absorbing fashion. However, the way the characters are developed in Krillionaire is believable and refreshing. The underlying lesson taught by the author is great too. Manipulation or control of resources may seem too mature a topic for some ages of readers but I assure you the author conveyed the message in an age friendly and enlightening way. Fans of ocean life will especially love the variety of undersea animals presented in the book. This book would be a great gift or purchase for readers of all ages.
