Is This a House for Hermit Crab?
When a hermit crab outgrows his shell, he goes out in search of a new home, trying out a rock, a tin can, a piece of driftwood, a plastic pail, a hole in the sand and a fishing net before he finds a home that is just right. Gritty, sand-colored pastel illustrations are the perfect complement to a text which uses repetition and onomatopoeia and asks direct questions to involve young listeners in the story. ©1990 Cooperative Children's Book Center
