Eric Carle has a way with story. So it is with A House for Hermit Crab, a story that merges a simple fact about hermit crabs with a larger lesson--appreciation for ocean inhabitants. When Hermit Crab encounters a group of snails on a rock, we learn that "They grazed as they went, picking up algae and bits of debris, and leaving a neat path behind them." Mr. Carle is world renown for the kaleidoscope of color in his illustrations. This book meets that expectation with fish, sea anemones, starfish and more that live along the ocean floor.
