Sharing a Shell

Meet two friends at the beach this summer in this charming seaside story from the brilliant Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard.

With funny rhyming verse, bright and distinctive illustrations, Sharing a Shell is loved by children and parents alike – perfect for reading together!

Ideal for keeping kids busy during the summer, it’s the ultimate boredom-busting companion for quiet time at home or on the go.

When Crab finds a new shell, he doesn't want to share it with anyone – especially not a blobby purple anemone and a tickly bristleworm. But life in the rock pool proves tougher than Crab thinks and he soon finds he needs his new housemates.
