Eric Carle's magnificent collage illustrations invite readers and viewers on a breathtaking underwater tour where brilliantly-colored sea creatures dazzle and delight the eye. His modern-day fable is both wise and simple; based on the true habits of the hermit crab, it not only introduces young readers to the wonder and beauty of the marine environment but also contains an encouraging message for small children facing the inevitable challenges of growing up.Hermit Crab's problem is that he keeps outgrowing things. When he outgrows his first shell-house, he's a bit scared. The next one he finds is big enough -- but depressingly bare. To his happy surprise, all sorts of beautiful and useful undersea neighbors come to his aid and decorate and protect his home. Finally, the new house is perfect but now it, too, has become too small Once again, Hermit Crab must move on. But this time he is not only bigger -- he is more self confident. While he is sorry to leave his friends and his familiar shell behind, he now sees the future as full of exciting possibilities.
Children who must change schools, move to a new town, or even just be promoted to a higher grade will empathize with Hermit Crab's situation, and will take heart as they see that growing up is not really so alarming after all.

Quality, CLEAR, versatile divider/containers.
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Clear
CLEAR and not cloudy! Smooth edges, well made, flexible enough not to break easily but gives support and structure to the contents. Very versatile sizes too! The included rubber-like stick-on feet is a brilliant addition. Just buy ‘em!

Great drawer organizers
Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear, Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear
Comes with grip pads for each tray. No sliding around in the drawer. Perfect sizes and ways to use. Filled 4 kitchen drawers and still extra pieces for a 5th drawer. Great for organizing craft room or anywhere. Each tray came separately bagged so no scratches. For clear plastic, seems very durable. Would buy again.
