What a great living book! Grace and I really enjoyed reading this together. I learned SO much about tidepools myself. It can be a little slow near the beginning as the story line is developing, but once you become attached to Pagoo and his struggles, the second half becomes a real page turner. Holling introduces so many different characters and sea creatures of all sizes, it kept Grace's interest soaring. I also thought Holling did a good job of trying to bring the drive of "instinct" to life for a child.
Grace stated that her favorite part of the book was "the end". (Pagoo becomes a father, and she liked the idea of new baby hermit crabs being born.)
So now it is off to Mississippi to meet Minn.
