"Perfect for fans of the visual style and humor of Ben Clanton’s Narwhal and Jelly, and also a useful introduction to marine habitats and sea life for classroom units and individual interest.”—School Library Journal

This hilarious new graphic novel from the Little Habitats series explores the ecosystem of a bay and the marine creatures and plant life that call it home.

Crab is fed up with the bay. Each day is the same; nobody cares for him or appreciates his sense of humor. So he’s leaving. Just when he is about to go, he bumps into Larva, who is looking for a home. Crab agrees to show Larva around the bay, exploring its many places and residents, on his way out.

Together, Crab and Larva visit the sea kelp, a fine shell-ection of oysters, mussels, clams, and a bickering group of sea anemones, amongst many more neighbors in the bay.

Will Larva find the perfect spot to settle here? And if he does, what will Crab do?
