Why read it?
1 author picked Crab and Snail as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how these best beach friends (that’s BBF to you!) think deeply about both friendship and the realities of being invisible. They also need to work together to figure out why the rain won’t stop falling on only the two of them! Can they figure it out?
This book is a funny and charming seaside tale.
From Mike's list on the ocean for kids.
