Crab Crush

The story is bursting with fun and twists and turns that children will derive hours of pleasure from reading it and learning about the characters. It’s also an excellent and interactive way to learn about the different sea animals and how they live. All the characters are assigned human qualities which brings humour to the story and Silke's vibrant and enticing illustrations will keep children fully engaged from beginning to end. The characters are incredibly expressive and each scene builds tension when we think about what is going to happen next. There are beautiful illustrations of the crab, the shark, the fish and the snail all seen in their natural habitat. Children will learn how the creatures move and eat, they will observe their colors and shapes, and some of the funny characteristics that the author brilliantly gives to each of them. The rich adjectives and the rhyming text are perfect for developing readers, stimulating children to use their imagination and ask questions and keeping them focused on the very funny details.
