"A fun adventure story that effectively highlights ecological issues too"
Sheldon the Hermit Crab is on the lookout for a new home. He’s outgrown his shell and needs somewhere bigger and comfortable for himself and his barnacle friends.
Finding something suitable is a challenge though and things look bad when poor Sheldon ends up stuck in an old glass bottle. Fortunately, there’s a young girl there with a lovely collection of shells to help. This story works as an adventure – there’s real jeopardy for Sheldon when he’s trapped in the bottle – but also delivers an effective message about the danger litter on beaches poses to wildlife.
Published in association with Surfers Against Sewage it does a good job of making beaches look the absolute best place to be, and of encouraging children to do their bit to look after the environment.
Set to an upbeat seaside rhythm by Lily Murray and brought to life by Sam Caldwell's vibrant artwork, Sheldon's New Shell is a fun, rhyming picture book that combines a gentle story with real-life ecological issues that affect animals around the world.
