Nipper, a loveable crab, has huge, clumsy claws. No matter what games he plays with his friends Nipper s claws always get in his way. So the friends decide to play hide-and-seek something they can all do together, but Nipper s claws ruin his hiding place! So instead, Nipper looks for his friends while they hide. He finds Turtle and Jellyfish, but there s no sign of Octopus. Until Nipper sees that Octopus is tangled tight in the weeds. Now it s up to Nipper to rescue Octopus with his big claws! This companion title to Fidgety Fish and Smiley Shark features the same bold, delightful illustrations, humorous text and is peppered with onomatopoeia kids really love.

Ruth Galloway is the successful author-illustrator of a number of picture books, including Fidgety Fish and Smiley Shark with Little Tiger Press. She is married with one son and lives in Oxfordshire.
PreSchool-K–Nipper the Crab hates his claws, which seem to get in the way when he is playing with the other sea animals. However, the appendages prove to be the only thing that can save Octopus when he gets tangled in seaweed. All of the creatures are friendly and welcoming, even when Nipper causes chaos in their games. Galloway has a smooth style–the story floats along without noticeable bumps; the onomatopoeia and alliteration, along with the brightly colored, attractive illustrations, make this a good choice for storytimes. And the final lesson–that everyone has a special gift–will be reassuring to youngsters who may feel a little clumsy, too.–Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.
