Did you know that crabs look like mini, clear lobsters when they are babies? Crabs have to molt many times before they even look like adults with hard outer shells. Some crabs grow their own shells while others find used shells to call their own. Find out about a crab's life cycle, physical traits, habitat, and more in this title for beginning readers.
Wonderful introduction to this strange animal. Have noticed that there seems to be lots of books about crabs for children. Maybe it is the unique way that they look that makes children curious about them. This book looks at many different types of crabs; it has very good photographs that are taken by professionals.
