    Reviews

    "Acrylic illustrations by Christina Wald bring the red crabs of Christmas Island to life on each page. A mass of red covering the forest floor or small red crabs decorating the shoreline are beautifully drawn. A map marking Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean gives the reader a frame of reference for the amazing journey. Fast facts, a glossary, critical thinking questions, and additional resources are available at the conclusion of the text, providing extensions."
    NSTA Recommends
    "With beautiful illustrations and simple text, this series about migration for the purpose of reproduction will make a nice classroom discussion-starter. . . .The format will appeal to all collections; however, the series is very readable and will be enjoyed by many children."
