Harold the Homeless Hermit

The stunning images and rhyming text makes Harold the homeless hermit an ideal story for children who enjoy a taste for adventure. Harold is a hermit crab who has outgrown his home jug and must quickly find a new dwelling for protection; otherwise he may end up as some seagull’s dinner. While searching for a new residence, he checks out some rather unusual homes in his pursuit for something ‘better’ and ‘flashier’ than his usual old shell or jug. The situation begins to leave him feeling slightly ‘crabby’ when things don’t go Harold’s way. The story reminds us that a house is just a house, but family makes a house a home.
