With his signature humor and amazing facts, best-selling author Jerry Pallotta offers a decapod for every letter of the alphabet. Meet dozens of crustaceans--and a few bonus animals--with engaging text and a laugh-out-loud narrative, from A (Arrow Crab) to E (exoskeleton) to I (Imocaris, a kind of fossil scientists believe to be the first crab on earth) to Z (Zebra Hermit Crabs, which have a hard covering on their legs and claws, but their body is soft). Readers of all ages will be entertained (and learning!) with every page turn.

Who knew there were more than seven thousand different species of crabs on earth today? Or that the longest crab in the world can be more than six feet long? Or that there is great variety in the shapes and sizes and features of crabs? Who was aware of such odd crabs as Sea Spider Crabs and Thorn-legged Crabs and Elbow Crabs and Wrinkled Crabs?
It's all here in The Crab Alphabet Book, and it's all told in classic Jerry Pallotta style.
