An unforgettable crustacean pet – Clarence Henry the Hermit Crab!

Do your children love crustaceans? I guarantee that they will love Clarence Henry the Hermit Crab. Clarence was a real crustacean that we had as a pet in our large fish tank. He was unusual and had to overcome some losses but never gave up.

If your children need encouragement to never give up and work to overcome any issues they may have, then Clarence is the one to teach them valuable life lessons as they enjoy reading about this unusual hermit crab and all his habits.

PINNACLE BOOK ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER!

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.
