The Happy Crab by Layla and Kevin Palmer Illustrated by Guy Wolek Book Review

In The Happy Crab, Layla and Kevin has written a brand-new children’s book about the adventures of a happy crab in the ocean. He travelled on the back of a whale one time to Haiti. He hunted treasure, surfed the waves, and went all over the world. One day, he was sleepy and fell asleep in a shell. A boy discovered the shell and loved how beautiful the shell was and it wasn’t broken like many of the others. He was picked up by a little boy and they took him away from the ocean. Eventually, they realized that there was a live crab inside the shell. His parents encouraged the boy to return him to the ocean. Before they returned him, the boy gave the crab the name happy. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to any child aged 1-8. I liked how the book was kind of illustrated like the author appear on the back of the book and it’s based on personal true story. This book had a great message of putting others and their needs before our own. This is one of the secrets to true happiness. The boy could have easily kept him and chose to kick him out of his shell where he could have a nice shell to take home and display to his friends. I loved the ocean theme and the bright colors presented in the book. There is a lot of attention to detail in the illustrations. 

 

 

"I received this book free from the publisher, Bethany House/Chosen Books for my honest review.”
