Snippy The Crab's Deep Sea Adventure

Book 1. Snippy The Crab's Deep Sea Adventure

'Snippy the crab looked out from his lair,
Over rose-spangled waters and dawn dappled air.
And though all at shoreline was calmness complete,
He was jitterbug-restless on six jiggly feet.'

A gloriously gallivanting tale with rollicking rhymes and gorgeous illustrations, this story will delight any 4-8 year old.

In his first seaside adventure, plucky little Snippy gets carried away in the excitement of exploring the big world beyond his rock pool. When dusk falls, he finds himself in a dark and scary place far from home. A huge lobster scoops him up, but he escapes and spends the night watching the enormous beasts that inhabit the deeper seas. Too frightened to sleep, Snippy hatches a clever plan to get away at first light. But oh!...the ocean is so vast. Luckily, help is at hand from a wonderfully unexpected source, and Snippy makes his way home where his friends are delighted to see him. Snippy the Crab's Deep Sea Adventure is a book of bravery, self-discovery, kindness and friendship.
