Synopsis
When a little hermit crab finds a shiny new shell, he doesn’t want to share it with anyone—not even a blobby anemone or a tickly bristleworm. But when challenges in the rock pool arise, Crab realises that sharing his home might be the best thing after all. This joyful, rhyming tale celebrates teamwork, friendship, and the wonders of the seaside.
