Fun Family Adventure at the Beach!

Happy the crab is living the perfect life in the ocean. He is enjoying all the things to see, to do, and to be with his other friends living in the ocean with him. But one day, after crawling into a sea shell and going to sleep, he awakens to find his whole world has changed.

A little boy and his family visiting the beach think his sea shell would make a great souvenir of their time at the ocean. The seashell is being held by the little boy as the family drives home. Unknown to them, they have a stowaway with Happy occupying the sea shell.

What will happen to Happy? We he never again get to be at the ocean he loves? If Happy is discovered by the family, will that make things worse for him?

I love this tale, it is a cheery story that will make you smile and smile. This over-sized, hard-backed picture book will delight young ones with its brightly colored illustrations, as well as, the fun story of Happy the crab.

It also subtly teaches that your actions can have an effect on others, and doing the right thing might go against what you want. But doing that can lead to a happy ending, as it does in this tale.

Children aged two to eight-years-old will reach for this five-star book over and over again. I highly recommend it!
