Sid the Fiddler Crab's island paradise was about to change.

?

Rhythmic, rhyming, and beautifully illustrated fun-to-read story, brings an environmental message to beachgoers and boaters to keep the coastal shorelines clean and safe.




Includes a challenging bonus of interesting facts about each critter's habitat.



- Sid the Fiddler sets a plan into action to save his ocean heaven from plastic pollution.

- See how the critters help their tiny sea turtle friends get back to the ocean.

- Find out how the twelve critters use their talents when their world turns upside down.

- Leaves a message to keep the coastal shorelines free of plastics and trash debris.




"Not a care in this island paradise," laughs Sid the Fiddler as he is relaxing

and sipping his smoothie while swinging in the South Carolina Lowcountry.



Includes a twelve-page bonus game

to discover fun facts about each critter's habitat:




"I live in the salt marsh pluff mudflats between the high and low tide marks.

I have one small claw for eating and one big one that I use like a fiddle.

I wave my big claw up and down to attract a mate or fight a little,

but if I lose it, I can grow a new one when I molt. What am I?"




Perfect for STEM classroom teachers, homeschoolers, and young naturalists who enjoy learning more about ecology, as well as crabs, fish, birds, and other animals that inhabit their beaches and wetlands. Also a great takeaway for beach vacays!
