Chadwick the Crab - Hardcover

Ages 5 to 8 years. Move aside, Babar, Paddington, Pooh-Bear ... make room for Chadwick. Chadwick is a happy Chesapeake Bay blue crab who enjoys a wide circle of friends -- quiet Orville Oyster, Matilda (a fussy, near-sighted egret), Toulouse the French Canada Goose, Bernie the Sea Gull, and especially Esmerelda, the prettiest girl crab in the entire bay. But Chadwick yearns for adventure and decides that more than anything else he wants to be a star at the aquarium in Baltimore. This is the story of how one little crab realises a very big dream.

Priscilla Cummings is the author of the Chadwick the Crab series and fourteen other picture books, as well as eight novels for older children. She lives in Annapolis, Maryland.
