Description

Join Crab and Snail in the surf zone, where they think deep thoughts and have unforgettable seaside adventures, in this graphic early reader series debut by New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry and beloved illustrator Jared Chapman.

The never-ending rain is putting a damper on Crab and Snail’s plans for a sunny, funny day. So when the BBFs (Best Beach Friends) realise that it’s only raining on them, they put their heads together and consult one know-it-all gull (he really does know it all!) to get to the bottom of it. By the time the rain clears, the duo will have made a new friend and learned something new and wonderful about friendship!

Crab and Snail: The Invisible Whale introduces readers to what will surely become everyone’s next favourite characters in the graphic early reader space. Fans of Narwhal & Jelly; Pea, Bee, & Jay; and Arlo & Pips will love these quirky characters and clever stories.

"A character-based volume that reads like a cross between SpongeBob SquarePants and The Muppet Show.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

About the Author

Beth Ferry has never met an invisible whale - at least she doesn't think she has. She lives near the beach in New Jersey where she has met many a crab and snail, some super smart seagulls and more barnacles than she can count. Beth and her family love nothing more than walking along the seashore, looking for interesting and wondrous things. In addition to writing books about the beach, Beth enjoys writing about friendship, nice dreams and scarecrows. You can learn more at bethferry.com. Jared Chapman is the author and illustrator of books such as Vegetables in Underwear; T-Rex Time Machine; and Steve, Raised by Wolves. When he isn't at the beach looking for invisible sea life, Jared lives with his wife and four kids in Northeast Texas. Visit him online at www.jaredchapman.com and at @jaredchapman.
