Does A Fiddler Crab Fiddle?
Description
"Humorous and informative at the same time, always a winning combination. Co-authored by a scientist, written with an assured, light touch, this picture book has taught me more than I ever knew about fiddler crabs while entertaining me as well. Plus the pictures are hilarious!?" - JANE YOLEN, author of Owl Moon, How to Dinosaurs Say Goodnight, and On Bird Hill
