Eric Carle's magnificent collage illustrations invite readers and viewers on a breathtaking underwater tour where brilliantly-colored sea creatures dazzle and delight the eye. His modern-day fable is both wise and simple; based on the true habits of the hermit crab, it not only introduces young readers to the wonder and beauty of the marine environment but also contains an encouraging message for small children facing the inevitable challenges of growing up.Hermit Crab's problem is that he keeps outgrowing things. When he outgrows his first shell-house, he's a bit scared. The next one he finds is big enough -- but depressingly bare. To his happy surprise, all sorts of beautiful and useful undersea neighbors come to his aid and decorate and protect his home. Finally, the new house is perfect but now it, too, has become too small Once again, Hermit Crab must move on. But this time he is not only bigger -- he is more self confident. While he is sorry to leave his friends and his familiar shell behind, he now sees the future as full of exciting possibilities.
Children who must change schools, move to a new town, or even just be promoted to a higher grade will empathize with Hermit Crab's situation, and will take heart as they see that growing up is not really so alarming after all.

Love it
Size: King (106"x96"), Color: Coin Pattern Black, Size: King (106"x96"), Color: Coin Pattern Black
Love this set. It's stitched together so nicely and it's so freaking cute. It's lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap. Might have to get every color. True to size, fits great. It's soft and comfortable.

Great for the price!
Size: Full/Queen (90"x96"), Color: Coin Pattern Brown
Got this bedstead for a steel. It’s thin and lightweight and has great color for the look I was going for in the guest room. Seems pretty durable and is soft to the skin. The bed is a queen so I ordered a king to make sure I had plenty of bedding to hang over the sides and it does cover the mattress. I also think it will look nice after washing.

Great lightweight comforter pretty pretty pattern and soft fabric
Size: King (106"x96"), Color: Coin Pattern Bluish Grey
Love this lightweight quilt so far! The gray/blue color was exactly what I was looking for. (Trying to match a Confederate blue and it worked) I ordered a king size for a queen bed and it was the perfect length I was looking for. It is soft and the pattern is pretty. I threw it in the wash when it came, on a gentle cycle and dried it on a regular cycle, It came out perfect! Very happy with the price and the quality
