Shell Yeah!: A New Shell for Heywood! (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789769773608)

Heywood is a hermit crab with a problem. His shell is too tight, and every shell on the beach is cracked, chipped, or just plain wrong.

His friends-a blackbird, some shorebirds and a couple of mongoose with a flair for fashion-rally to help. But their solutions involve a glass bottle, a broken snorkel, a paper cup, and seaweed as an accessory. Not exactly the look Heywood is going for! He isn't looking for just anything. He needs the perfect shape, the perfect size, the perfect colour to match his eyes. Will Heywood ever find a shell that really fits?

Heywood the Hermit Crab is a funny, heartwarming story about patience, friendship, and discovering that the right fit is worth waiting for.

Heywood the Hermit Crab combines the classic ocean-animal charm of Eric Carle's A House for Hermit Crab with the laugh-out-loud humor and emotional resonance of Jory John's The Bad Seed. Perfect for readers who love stories about perseverance, friendship, and finding where you belong-with a delightfully silly twist!
