About this item: 

Hermit crab, having outgrown his old shell, sets out to find a new one. He's a bit frightened at first, but over the course of the next year acquires not only a shell, but also an array of sea creatures to decorate, clean, and protect his new home. The story ends with the hermit crab outgrowing his shell. He finds a new "tenant" to look after his friends and sets off to find a much bigger shell.
