Poor Hermit Crab! He's outgrown his snug little shell, so he finds himself a larger one -- and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happen when he outgrows this shell, and has to say good-bye to all the sea creatures who have made Hermit Crab's house a home?
Children facing change in their own lives will relate to Hermit Crab's story -- and learn a lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way.

Good fun, and far more optimistic than I remembered. ( )

I listened to this book on Epic! It was a good listen to learn about a little hermit crab and how he has to search for a new shell because he grew out of his sold one. I find hermit crabs really cool since they are able to just transfer their bodies into different shells whenever they feel like it. My bestfriend used to have a pet hermit carb and she gave it multiple shells to choose which one it liked the best and it was so weird to see it switch shells.
