Clem and Crab by Fiona Lumbers, PICTURE BOOK Andersen Press, 2019. $18. 9781541596191

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When Clem goes to the beach with her sister, she finds a crab with its claw caught in some plastic. She wants to bring it home as a pet but her sister says no, so they release it back into the water. But when Clem is going trough the treasures she has found on the beach, she discovers that the crab came home with her after all. The beach is the best place for the crab to live, but the environment needs some help for crab to be safe.

A darling story that shows that even a little effort can make a big difference. Beautifully illustrated in water color, a great story to read with your class or before a visit to the beach and as a reminder to leave the wildlife in the wild.
