A House For Hermit Crab by: Eric Carle is a witty story about a hermit crab that is going through a transitional period in it's life. It must change shells even though it is attached to it's old one. Children who are going through a transitional period could benefit from reading this book because it focuses on change and while change is hard, change is amazing as well. I will include the link to the audio :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYGDLsFgBf0 Eric Carle illustrated this particular book a little different. the color pallet is darker and filled with more earthy tones than neon and the illustrations have a more simplistic feel to them in my opinion. I believe by making the illustrations more brown and earthy helps give the feel of a darker tone, and by the end of the book, the murky looking water and sand turn into a colorful celebration of change. These are just my perspectives while reading. The message could mean a multitude of things to many different people but the message still remains positive and influential to the people reading it. (The typical Eric Carle Style :) peace and positivity <3
