The Hermit Crab by Carter Goodrich

PreK-2. The humorous story of an unlikely hero! The hermit crab was very shy. He was so shy that he would retreat into his shell if someone so much as said "Hello" to him. One day the creatures at the bottom of the sea are startled by a large, wooden contraption that smells of food and has landed on the ocean floor. Unfortunately, it has also landed on top of the flounder. The hermit crab missed the commotion because he had found a fancy new shell and was trying on his new home for size (actually half of an action figure). When the hermit crab happens upon the wooden crate he attempts to locate the food and the other fish mistakenly believe a hero has come to save the flounder as all they can see from their vantage point is the action figure.

A funny story that is sure to please a crowd or an independent reader!
