The lucky hermit crab found a perfect, swirly new shell to replace her old home she had outgrown. But when she gets too big for this shell, will she be able to let go of her favorite shell to find a new, bigger one that will keep her safe and comfortable?

This is Petrie's fourth children's book in her Seatales Sea Animal series. Her other books include The Bumpy, Lumpy Horseshoe Crab, Did You Make the Hole in the Shell in the Sea?, and Something's Tugging on My Claw! Each book in this series is a rhyming adventure. Petrie's books are perfect for ages three through 10, but most adults are surprised at how much they learn from listening to these stories too!
