Picture Book: Is This a House for Hermit Crab? by Megan McDonald, & S.D. Schindler

Is This a House for Hermit Crab?
Megan McDonald, illustrated by S. D. Schindler
ISBN: 0531084558 (library bound)
Lovely colored-pencil naturalist drawings of hermit crab in beautiful environments.

Hermit crab has outgrown his current house - he can't tuck himself all the way inside any more, and the fishes and the seabirds are going to get him if he doesn't move into a roomier shell soon.  This story gently follows along as the dauntless crab searches for just the right place to move into, rejecting smooth stones, driftwood, cab pits, and nets before finding just the right shell to scramble into.

This one would go well with The Hermit Crab from our summer reading program.
