Selfish Crab

 Claude has the most beautiful shell of all the crabs on the beach. It makes him feel special and he's determined never, ever to part with it. Of course, hermit crabs change their shells as they grow-in fact they often swap with each other. But when it's time to swap, Claude says 'NO!'. His decision spins the hermit crab community into chaos and it means that little Alphonso's shell is much too big. At the seaside this is dangerous. Can Claude give up his selfish ways in time to save his friend?

Review: "Glazer's funny, cautionary tale - brought to life with glorious illustrations in a palette of vivid colours - is packed with laughter and learning as we follow the antics of stubbornly selfish Claude who just won't give up his shell. Picture book perfection!" * Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post *
"It will have you laughing out loud whilst busily investigating the pictures to spot all the characters and activities happening along the beach... An ideal title for both home and school settings this book has an incredible amount to offer... A charming story about friendship and community." * Armadillo Children's Books *
