“Time to move,” said Hermit Crab one day in January.

“I’ve grown too big for this little shell.”

He had felt safe and snug in his shell. But now it was too snug.

Hermit Crab stepped out of the shell and onto the floor of the ocean.

But it was frightening out in the open sea without a shell to hide in.

“What if a big fish comes along and attacks me?” he thought.

“I must find a new house soon.”

Early in February, Hermit Crab found just the house he was

looking for. It was a big shell, and strong. He moved right in,

wiggling and waggling about inside it to see how it felt.

It felt just right.

“But it looks so–well, so plain,” thought Hermit Crab.

In March, Hermit Crab met some sea anemones.

They swayed gently back and forth in the water.

“How beautiful you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to come and live on my house?

It is so plain, it needs you.”

“I’ll come,” whispered a small sea anemone.

Gently, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw

and put it on his shell.

11

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 12 7/17/13 10:44 AM

In April, Hermit Crab passed a flock of starfish moving slowly

along the sea floor.

“How handsome you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to decorate my house?”

“I would,” signalled a little sea star.

Carefully, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw

and put it on his house.

13

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 13 7/17/13 10:44 AM

In May, Hermit Crab discovered some coral.

They were hard, and didn’t move.

“How pretty you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to help

make my house more beautiful?”

14

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 14 7/17/13 10:44 AM

“I would,” creaked a crusty coral.

Gingerly, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw

and placed it on his shell.

15

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 16 10/23/13 10:33 AM

In June, Hermit Crab came to a group of snails crawling over

a rock on the ocean floor. They grazed as they went, picking up

algae and bits of debris, and leaving a neat path behind them.

“How tidy and hard-working you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to come and help clean my house?”

“I would,” offered one of the snails.

Happily, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw

and placed it on his shell.

17

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 18 7/17/13 10:45 AM

In July, Hermit Crab came upon several sea urchins.

They had sharp, prickly needles.

“How fierce you look!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to protect my house?”

“I would,” answered a spiky sea urchin.

Gratefully, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw

and placed it near his shell.

19

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 19 7/17/13 10:45 AM

In August, Hermit Crab and his friends wandered into

a forest of seaweed. “It’s so dark here,” thought Hermit Crab.

“How dim it is,” murmured the sea anemone.

“How gloomy it is,” whispered the starfish.

“How murky it is,” complained the coral.

“I can’t see!” said the snail.

“It’s like nighttime!” cried the sea urchin.

20

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 21 7/17/13 10:46 AM

In September, Hermit Crab spotted a school of lanternfish

darting through the dark water.

“How bright you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would one of you be willing to light up our house?”

“I would,” replied one lanternfish. And it swam over near the shell.

22

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 24 7/17/13 10:47 AM

In October, Hermit Crab approached a pile of smooth pebbles.

“How sturdy you are!” said Hermit Crab.

“Would you mind if I rearranged you?”

“Not at all,” answered the pebbles.

Hermit Crab picked them up one by one with his claw

and built a wall around his shell.

“Now my house is perfect!” cheered Hermit Crab.

25

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 25 7/17/13 10:47 AM

26

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 26 7/17/13 10:47 AM

But in November, Hermit Crab felt that his shell seemed a bit

too small. Little by little, over the year, Hermit Crab had grown.

Soon he would have to find another, bigger home.

But he had come to love his friends, the sea anemone,

the starfish, the coral, the sea urchin, the snail, the lanternfish,

and even the smooth pebbles.

“They have been so good to me,” thought Hermit Crab.

“They are like a family. How can I ever leave them?”

27

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 28 7/17/13 10:48 AM

In December, a smaller hermit crab passed by.

“I have outgrown my shell,” she said.

“Would you know of a place for me?”

“I have outgrown my house, too,” answered Hermit Crab.

“I must move on. You are welcome to live here–

but you must promise to be good to my friends.”

“I promise,” said the little crab.

29

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 29 10/23/13 10:32 AM

The following January,

Hermit Crab stepped out and the little crab moved in.

“Couldn’t stay in that little shell forever,”

said Hermit Crab as he waved goodbye.

The ocean floor looked wider

than he had remembered,

but Hermit Crab wasn’t afraid.

Soon he spied the perfect house–

a big, empty shell. It looked, well,

a little plain, but…

30

RGEN14_SCK_U1_HermitCr.indd 30 7/17/13 10:48 AM

“Sponges!” he thought.

“Barnacles! Clown fish! Sand dollars! Electric eels!

Oh, there are so many possibilities!

I can’t wait to get started!”

A New Home for Hermit Crab

A hermit crab has no shell to protect it. It has big, sharp claws and a hard covering called an exoskeleton on its front, but the rest of its body is soft and unprotected. So the hermit crab lives in empty snail shells.

by Jeanne Bendick art by Diane Blasius

55

RGEN14_SCK_U1_Poems.indd 55 11/15/13 4:04 PM

As the hermit crab grows, As the hermit crab grows, it has to move into bigger and bigger shells. This crab’s and bigger shells. This crab’s old shell is getting too small, old shell is getting too small, so it’s looking for a bigger one on the tide pool floor.

This one? The hermit crab rolls a shell over and looks at it. Too small.

That one? It has another hermit crab in it! Sometimes hermit crabs fight each other for crabs fight each other for a shell. These two have a short claw-pulling match, and then the house-hunting hermit crab moves on.

56

RGEN14_SCK_U1_Poems_2.indd 56 7/17/13 10:50 AM

This one? Just right. And it’s empty. The hermit crab takes a quick look around to be sure there are no enemies ready to grab it when it is unprotected. Then it jumps out of the old shell, backs into the new one,

and uses its biggest claw to close the shell opening up tight.

Home at last.

Come along, come with me, Take a dive in the deep blue sea. Put on your gear, let’s explore All the way to the ocean floor!

See that snail wrapped in curls? Look! An oyster wearing pearls! Watch the octopus oh so dark, But don’t you dare to pet the shark!

Dive on down, seaward bound, Motion in the ocean is all around! Dive on down, seaward bound, Motion in the ocean is all around!

Sea Creatures

58

RGEN14_SCK_U1_Poems_2.indd 58 7/17/13 10:50 AM

Now we’re very far below, The lantern fish are all aglow. Is that a tiny shock you feel? You just met an electric eel!

Giant blue whales start to stir, Bigger than dinosaurs ever were! Wave good-bye to the squid and sponge, This is the end of our deep-sea plunge!

Dive on down, seaward bound, Motion in the ocean is all around! Dive on down, seaward bound, Motion in the ocean is all around!

Ducks Quack Me Upby Charles Ghigna

Little duckies in the sun,

I like to see you having fun.

Little duckies on the lake,

I like to hear the noise you make.

Little duckies in a row,

Dinner’s waiting just below.

Little duckies, when you sup

You always turn your bottoms up.

Daddy Fell into the Pondby Alfred Noyes

Everyone grumbled. The sky was gray. We had nothing to do and nothing to say. We were nearing the end of a dismal day, And there seemed to be nothing beyond, THEN Daddy fell into the pond!

And everyone’s face grew merry and bright, And Timothy danced for sheer delight. “Give me the camera, quick, oh quick! He’s crawling out of the duckweed.” Click!

Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee, And doubled up, shaking silently, And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.

Oh, there wasn’t a thing that didn’t respond WHEN Daddy fell into the pond!

Deer Mouse by Aileen Fisher

Who tells the little deer mouse when summer goes away that she should fix a cozy place, a comfy place to stay, and fill her cupboard shelves with seeds from berries, weeds, and hay?

Who tells the little deer mouse before the year is old that she should wear a warmer coat to shield her from the cold? I’m glad that someone tells her and she does as she is told.
