As a former marine science teacher, I read this book to every class of Kindergartners I ever had. The kids loved it! It remains one of my all-time favorites for children just learning to read.

This is a great book for a primary grade teacher to include in a theme about hermit crabs or sea animals. Other books that are particuarly good are Eric Carle's A House for Hermit Crab and Megan McDonald's Is This a House for Hermit Crab? Moving Day features many opposites with descriptive words that would be great in both language arts and science/math lessons. On several pages, the illustrations in Moving Day have tiny, humorous details that the kids will enjoy discovering. Moreover, the very large print lends itself well to shared reading (reading in which the teacher points to each word as it is being read aloud). A great book for a teacher's Ocean-theme collection!

We got this book from the library, and I'm buying our own copy. My two year old loves this book, and just about knows it by heart. Of the hundred or so books he can choose from to be read each night, he has consistently chosen this one for two weeks. In two year old terms, that's forever!

This is a great book for teaching opposites to a small child. My 3 year old son is obsessed with this book and is finally getting the difference between big & small, rough & smooth...
This is by far the most requested book in our home...
