| Summary: | Follows a hermit crab through twenty-four hours in a California tide pool as she searches for a larger shell. As changing tides bring crashing waves, predators, and encounters with other marine animals, sidebars and photographs introduce the adaptations of tide-pool creatures, the causes of tides, marine food webs, and other features of the intertidal ecosystem. Discover the hidden world of a tide pool while following a hermit crab through 24 hours of tide cycles, dangers, and chance meetings as she searches for a new shell. In a great tide pool along the central coast of California, what from afar looks like just a rocky outcropping comes to life with color and drama as a hermit crab searches for a new, larger shell. The crab must survive extreme conditions through the course of a tide cycle--encountering crashing waves, hungry predators, and a neighborhood of diverse animals--in order to find her new home. While following the crab's story through gorgeous, paneled illustrations, readers will also learn about the adaptations of a wide variety of creatures, why tides happen, the tide pool food web, and more through sidebars and photos. |
