Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: Things About Me

40 pp. | Penguin/Razorbill | November, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59514-455-3 $18.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Lind. From YouTube hit to children's book: Marcel the Shell humorously describes his Borrowers-esque life (e.g., he jumps into a sock drawer to dry himself off). Eschewing stills, this spin-off book uses realistic paintings that retain the hipster charm that helped make the videos so popular. Fans will miss Slate's quirky voicing of Marcel, but they can hear her narrate the book online.
