The Crab Alphabet Book, Hardcover

With his signature humor and amazing facts, best-selling author Jerry Pallotta offers a decapod for every letter of the alphabet.

Meet dozens of crustaceans--and a few bonus animals--with engaging text and a laugh-out-loud narrative, from A (Arrow Crab) to E (exoskeleton) to I (Imocaris, a kind of fossil scientists believe to be the first crab on earth) to Z (Zebra Hermit Crabs, which have a hard covering on their legs and claws, but their body is soft). Readers of all ages will be entertained (and learning ) with every page turn.

Jerry Pallotta is an award-winning author of children's alphabet books and imaginative fiction, including The Sea Mammal Alphabet Book, Butterfly Counting and Colors, The Construction Alphabet Book, and The Icky Bug Alphabet Book. Jerry lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
