Here is a Limerick for one of book #10 (2018), Clarence Henry the Hermit Crab, about a pet we had in one of our fish tanks (saltwater). Clarence was quite a character and fearless and determined to do his job and do it well as he took care of cleaning our tank. We miss him and the fabulous job he did.

I have had lots of fun writing limericks for my previous books. I just had to do one for Clarence Henry. I don’t want him to feel left out.

If you are just stopping by and would like to read the limericks for my other books go to Louey, Ricky, Lamby, Jerry, Jesse, Broose, Sebastian, Colby, Jeffrey.

LIMERICK

CLARENCE HENRY THE HERMIT CRAB

There once was a hermit crab named Clarence Henry.

Who lived in a tank with fish aplenty.

He came to his new home missing a leg and a claw.

But fortunately for this there is no law.

Now Clarence Henry stays deep in his shell.

Until one day he’ll be whole again and well.

BLURB:

Clarence Henry is different from other hermit crabs. He came to his new home minus one claw and a leg. He needs to protect himself until he can grow new appendages. Will Clarence Henry be able to meet the challenges in his new water world?

Clarence Henry was a real aquatic hermit crab who lived in a saltwater fish tank in our home. We watched him interact with the other creatures in the tank.

He was resilient, intelligent, and a joy to have as a pet. We took some photos of him as he grew his claw and leg and changed shells.

We shared these photos and facts about hermit crabs in the back of the book. I hope you will enjoy them. This book will make a wonderful resource for classrooms.

I love writing stories for children about baby animals that young children can relate to. I hope your children will love Clarence Henry and all my other books and learn the valuable life lessons while they have fun reading.

Reading is important not only to keep your children’s reading levels up all year long but also it can increase their vocabulary, spark their creativity, enhance their health and wellbeing, and encourage them to become lovers of books. Let’s bring up a generation of readers and thinkers who will become successful and confident adults one day.

Please consider giving books to all the children on your list for all occasions. There is nothing better than to see a child’s eyes light up when you give him/her a book – even more so when you read the book to them. You are giving them so much more than you could ever imagine, e.g., you spark their imagination, heighten their creativity, lift their spirits, increase their vocabulary, open up a whole new world to them, enhance their health and wellbeing and encourage them to love reading. The gift of a book is worth more than gold to our children, grandchildren. Keep reading and gifting books to children. Let’s bring up a generation of readers and thinkers. Thank you for your support!

Thank you for stopping by to read this post. I hope you have enjoyed my limericks. Please come back for more.
