'Hector The Hermit Crab Finds A New Home'
This really is the perfect summer holiday seaside story! Recommended for any child that loves the beach and the sea!

And when Hector does find somewhere new to live, who will live in his old shell? Will they make friends?
Find out how clever real hermit crabs are when they need a new shell in this delightful and uplifting rhyming tale with a happy and heart-warming ending, when Hector’s old shell proves a perfect fit for the hermit crab, Mona, and they take a stroll along the evening shore….
