Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Crabby Crab is the result of reminiscing about entertaining grandchildren at the cottage with walks on the beach.The sea creatures mentioned in the book - the crab, starfish, mussel and barnacle - are all common to the seashore and easily identified. Children can emphasize readily with shovelling sand, placing the living animals in the bucket to take home as "pets". They can relate to the grown-ups "eeew" and suggestions to take their findings back to the beach. The illustrations entail a learning component - tube feet in the starfish, feathery legs on the barnacle that capture food, threads that attach mussels to a surface and the ebb and flow of the tide. The delightful illustrations are enlivened by the artist's familiarity and enjoyment of the beach. The hand printing of the text adds to the book's appeal.The story ends with a gentle reminder that nature may be enjoyed while leaving it unharmed.Please visit Ruth's website at www.crabbycrab.ca
