One Potato Review

Kind of disappointing, honestly, when Hermit Crab doesn’t get to keep at least one of his crusty collectibles, still these illustrations – of corals and urchins and anemones and especially something called a lanternfish glowing, and leading the way through an otherwise forbidding forest of sea grass – prove sufficiently diverting you probably won’t even realize you’re learning a lesson till it’s already too late. A simple consolation, resplendently detailed by the great Eric Carle, who has so many simple and resplendent books in circulation that you barely know where to look first. Look here.
