Hardback Picture Books

From the multi award-winning picture book maker of A Bit Lost, Oh No, George!, Shh! We Have a Plan and Goodnight Everyone comes a bold new picture book about building up the courage to try something new. 

In the rockpool above the sea, live two crabs: Big Crab and Little Crab. Today, they're going for a dip in the sea.

"This is going to be so great!" says Little Crab. But then Little Crab catches a first glimpse of the water... Oh. The waves! They're ENORMOUS. "JEEPERS!"

Will Little Crab be brave enough to go in? 

Lucy's Review:

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage" Anais Nin

Little Crab and Very Big Crab head out from their tiny rockpool to see the sea. Little Crab is very excited but once they get there, it is actually quite scary and Little Crab thinks maybe they should go home. Will Little Crab overcome its fear?

Another brilliant story from the author of Shh! We Have a Plan, A Bit Lost and Oh No, George!. These are all deceptively simple books which come alive when reading with kids - the narrative tension is just perfect for 2-5 year olds but can go over the head of adults!
