Sharing a Shell

By Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks

The tiny hermit crab loves his new shell. He doesn't want to share it -- not with a blobby purple anenome and a tickly bristleworm. But life in the rock pool proves tougher than Crab thinks, and soon he finds he needs his new housemates in this rollicking story of sea, shells and friendship.

Sharing a Shell is a charming underwater tale of friendship and fun from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard. With brilliant rhythmic verse, bright and distinctive illustrations and a gorgeously glittery cover, this is a firm favourite with children and parents alike.

Sharing a Shell was the first collaboration between Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks; the bestselling team behind Sugarlump and the Unicorn and What the Ladybird Heard.
