The simple text describes how crustaceans look, how they protect themselves, what they eat, and where they live.
The beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the diversity of the crustacean population--from a Sand Fiddler to a California Rock Lobster--and present each in its natural habitat. An afterword provides further details on the crustaceans portrayed to inspire young readers to learn more.
