Sharing a Shell

The tiny hermit crab loves his new shell. He doesn’t want to share it – especially not with a blobby purple anenome and a tickly bristleworm! But life in the rock pool is tougher than Crab thinks. Soon he finds that he needs his new companions, and that sharing a shell is all about sharing friendship and problems too!

  • A rollicking rhyming story of sea shells and sharing
  • By the dream team of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks
  • This duo created the bestseller What the Ladybird Heard
  • A sea-splashed delight with a message about friendship
