Celebrate the allure and variety of crustaceans with this beautifully illustrated guide to thirty species of crabs, lobsters, hermit crabs, and shrimps.

Turn the pages of Claws and dive into a world of empathy and wonder for the natural realm by marveling at these curious, elegant, resilient sea creatures. Crabs, shrimps, hermit crabs, and lobsters have long populated the collective imagination:

• Observed on the beach or among the rocks, they constitute a diverse and fascinating slice of marine life.
• Endowed with strong eyesight, articulated legs, and adept pincer claws, crustaceans scuttle with ease from the ocean depths to the tidal zones and beyond.
• Some crabs live in rivers, migrate on the ground into tropical forests, and can even hide inside carnivorous plants.

The first half of the book contains gorgeously detailed and realistic illustrations and delves into the species' main characteristics and the secrets of their underwater world. The second half features specimen cards with scientific information and fun facts for easy reference.
