Read and find out about what lives in a shell in this colorfully
illustrated nonfiction picture book.
A house is a home for you, a nest is a home for a bird, and a cave is a
home for a bear. But for some animals a shell is a home. Snails and
turtles and crabs and clams all have shells that act as their homes and
protect them from harm.
This clear and appealing book for early elementary age kids, both at
home and in the classroom, is a fascinating exploration of the many
creatures that make a home in a shell. This picture book features
beautifully accurate illustrations of the many types of shells--inside
and out! Young readers will love exploring the fascinating homes of
creatures like hermit crabs, scallops, and turtles.
