(4) K-3 A growing hermit crab searches for a new home in this vividly colored tour through a thriving coral reef. Unfortunately, the pedantic telling of the crab's plight seems merely an excuse to showcase the reef's splendor in large double-page spreads and a double gatefold. The final nine pages are an encyclopedic "Key to the Reef" that details every organism found in the art. A list of conservation agencies is appended.
