Review: Sharing a Shell



Sharing A Shell

Written by Julia Donaldson
Illustrated by Lydia Monks


Publication Date: 2007
Publisher: Campbell Books
ISBN: 978-1-4050-9174-9


Summary/Back cover:
Look! A crab - a crab with no shell, running along by the sea ......

When the little hermit crab finds a shiny new shell he doesn't want to share it - not with a blobby purple anemone and a tickly bristleworm.

Join Crab, Blob and Brush in the rock pool for a sparkly story of sea, shells and friendship.

My 3 year old was given this book for his 2nd birthday and he still loves it now.
Its a very sweet story about friendship and sharing, both things that we like our children to think about and learn. The illustrations are bright with added glitter and detailed with lots of things that you would find at the beach and in the rock pools. Its simple enough for those toddlers with short attention spans and rhymes really well. I enjoy reading it just about as much as my toddler! Definitely a book worth getting.

My rating: 4 out of 5.
