Hermit Crab outgrows his shell and must leave friends behind. Given a task by the Duke and Duchess, a baker invents the pretzel. Two classic picture books are here repackaged as early readers. The page layout is appropriate for new readers, and Carle's familiar art is resized to accommodate the larger font. These editions are less handsome than the originals but may prove useful.

Hermit Crab seeks the perfect home—and learns to appreciate change—in this Ready-to-Read edition of Eric Carle’s beloved story.

In this classic story from Eric Carle, Hermit Crab grows out of one house after another as he searches for the perfect home. Children who must change schools, move to a new town, or even graduate to a new grade in school will relate to Hermit Crab’s situation and take heart as they see that growing up isn’t really so scary after all.

Filled with whimsy and wisdom—and based on the true behaviors of the hermit crab—this modern classic features Eric Carle’s trademark vibrant collage illustrations and lively text that has been adapted into a Level 2 Ready-to-Read edition, making it ideal for newly independent readers.
