I think this is not as popular as the hungry hungry caterpillar. But the story is so good! The art is gorgeous, and the lesson of adventure and making a house a home is gold.

Such a beautiful story about growth and change. Hermit Crab decorates his shell month by month, learning that change can be exciting rather than scary. Perfect for kids starting preschool or facing any big transition.
