32 pp. | Cavendish | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5115-3 $$16.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Annie Cannon & Annie Cannon. This book explores a horseshoe crab's life cycle and shows how this ancient creature is a vital link in the ecology of Delaware Bay. The text carefully explains the egg-laying process, covers shore birds and other creatures' subsequent feasts, and discusses hunting opportunities for larger birds and mammals. Breezy watercolors accurately and artfully portray the tidal pool zone.
