When Crab finds a new shell, he doesn't want to share it with anyone - especially not a blobby purple anemone and a tickly bristleworm.

But life in the rock pool proves tougher than Crab thinks and he soon finds he needs his new housemates.

Ideal for use in the classroom, Sharing a Shell Big Book is a charming underwater tale of friendship and fun from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard.

With brilliant rhythmic verse, bright and distinctive illustrations this is a firm favourite and perfect for reading aloud.
