(3) K-3 Translated by Miguel Arisa. Illustrated by Cedric Lucas. A well-translated text tells about a boy who wants to buy his mother a new dress but learns that the hermit crabs he sells are being made to "race" in the hot sun while tourists place bets. The expressive watercolor illustrations portray the lush beauty of Jamaica and the personalities and emotions of the characters. An author's note provides information about Jamaica and hermit crabs. Also available in English.
