"It's time to move now. I think I know how. First I must put my tail in. And now I can slide my whole body inside. I did it!" he said with a grin. "Oh look how I fit! I can stand. I can sit. I can roll, I can crawl, I can creep! I can seek, I can hide. I can stay deep inside. I can rest, I can dream, I can sleep!"

My mother bought this book some time ago to read to my son while he was visiting, and he has since fallen in love with it. The book follows Permit Drab the Hermit Crab as he looks for a new home. His shell has gotten too small for him, and his task is to find one that will be comfortable enough for him to live in. This book is written in a way that people of all ages can enjoy it, and it's especially fun to read to your children.

This is a wonderful book for young children and their parents. It tells the story of one little hermit crab who gets too big for his shell. Your kids will have you reading this one over and over again until they know it by heart.
