A House for Hermit Crab
寄居蟹的房子
卡尔爷爷分享的系列来了，超级富有想象力 ，是我最喜欢的系列！
小小的寄居蟹长大了，于是他要去找间更大的房子。一路上，他的朋友都来帮忙装饰和保护他的房子。但他继续长大，不得不再找别的房子，他会再次遇到谁呢，又会有哪些挑战？
其实我们的孩子在他的一生中也会面临各种变化，就像寄居蟹的故事一样。孩子们还可以在这本书里了解到很多海洋动物的特性。
所以这是一本相当出色的科普读物！
Poor Hermit Crab! He’s outgrown his snug little shell, so he finds himself a larger one- and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happen when he outgrows this shell, and has to say good-bye to all the sea creatures who have made Hermit Crab’s house a home?
Children facing change in their own lives will relate to Hermit Crab’s story- and learn a lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way.
An Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children

Hermit Crabs live on the ocean floor.
Their skin is hard, except for the abdomen, which is soft.
To protect this “soft spot” the hermit crab borrows a shell and makes this its ”house.”
Hen only its face, feet and claws stick out from the shell.
That way, it can see, walk and cath its food.
When a hermit crab is threatened, it withdraws it on its shell untl the danger has passed.

“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 not 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 op with his claw and put it on his shell.

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,” signaled a little sea star.
Carefully, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw and pout it on his house.

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?”
“I would,”creaked a crusty coral.
Gingerly, Hermit Crab picked it up with his claw and placed it on his shell.

In June, Hermit Crab came to a group of snail 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.

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.

In August, Hermit Crab and his friends wandered into a forest of seaweed. “It is so dark here,” thought Hermit Crab.
“How dim it is,” murmured the seam 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.

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.

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.

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 wold 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?”

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 friend.”
“I promises,” said the little crab

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 goodby.
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 …
“Sponges!” He thought.
“Barnacles! Clown fish? Sand dollars! Electric eels! Oh, there are so many possibilities! I can’t wait to get started!”
