"From the beach to the backyard, animals with shells are everywhere! Turtles and tortoises have shells. They are a home on the animals back! Hermit crabs also have a shell home kids may find while visiting the beach. In this book, the youngest readers explore the many animals that have shells while expanding their vocabulary. Full-color photographs directly correlate to simple sentences, aid understanding and fluency in reading. A question at the end of the book engages readers with what they have read"-- Provided by publisher.
