Crabby Crab is part of the Thingy Things Series of books by Chris Raschka, originally published in 2000 and then re-released in 2014.
I love all the books in this series. Because each book is so short, they work better as a group than individually.
What I love about Crabby Crab is the message to kids that they are perfect and lovable just the way they are. It seems so obvious to the reader (young and old) that it’s silly for Crabby Crab to be anything other than what he is. And we love him for it!
This is a great book for young kids who are just starting to read and pick up site words. You can read this book to a child once or twice and then they will start ‘reading’ it themselves. These types of books are great to boost the confidence in young readers.
Recommended for kids age 3 and up. Perfect for pre-school.
