K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Hermit Crab outgrows his shell and must leave friends behind. Given a task by the Duke and Duchess, a baker invents the pretzel. Two classic picture books are here repackaged as early readers. The page layout is appropriate for new readers, and Carle's familiar art is resized to accommodate the larger font. These editions are less handsome than the originals but may prove useful. Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: A House for Hermit Crab and Walter the Baker.
