Sharing a Shell
Julia Donaldson, Lydia Monks
When Crab finds a new shell, he doesn’t want to share it with anyone – especially not a blobby purple anemone and a tickly bristleworm. But life in the rock pool proves tougher than Crab thinks and he soon finds he needs his new housemates.
Sharing a Shell is a charming underwater tale of friendship and fun from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard. With brilliant rhythmic verse, bright and distinctive illustrations this is a firm favourite with children and parents alike.
Enjoy all the stories from Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks: Sharing a Shell, The Princess and the Wizard, The Rhyming Rabbit, The Singing Mermaid, Sugarlump and the Unicorn, Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox, What the Ladybird Heard, What the Ladybird Heard Next, What the Ladybird Heard on Holiday and The Girl, the Bear and the Magic Shoes.
Reviews
I thought this book was good because there was a blob and it shared a shell. and the little brush thing came and shared the shell with the crab and the blob. I liked the illustrations.

The crab was the best character. It was good that he shared and then learned to share in again.

A book about kindness and sharing

It has lots of bright colours and I like the anemone in the story because she had lots of tentacles. I would recommend this book to all of my friends because it’s a story based on the beach and I live near the beach.

Love this one. Chose to read it today because it reminded me of the holiday we've just been on where we went looking for shells and saw some with creatures in them.
