The Selfish Crab by Anya Glazer
Claude is a selfish crab and he refuses to give up his beautiful shell. Little does he know that his actions will affect all the hermit crabs on the beach - especially little Alphonso, whose new shell is far too big. Can Claude change his ways before he puts his friends in danger?
