PB Planet Spotlight: The Hermit Crab

Big PB Planet applause for The Hermit Crab by Carter Goodrich (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2009). After an extremely shy hermit crab discovers and dons a fancy new "shell," he certainly looks like a hero, but is he one? With a neighbor in danger, and everyone else too scared to help, can the little crustacean save the day--and survive the resulting attention? (My hermie, Rocky Raccoon, gives two claws up to Goodrich's illustrations--particularly the funny facial expressions of the flounder and the rest of the hermit crab's undersea neighbors!)
