Wedding shells are ringing! Chadwick the Crab is getting married, and everyone is preparing for the big event! Esmerelda is choosing her bridesmaids. Baron von Heron is writing the ceremony (in rhyme, of course). Toulouse, the gourmet goose, is baking a corn and eelgrass cake. Then Chadwick begins to have second thoughts about marriage, and as if that weren't bad enough, Esmerelda disappears! Suddenly, the wedding is off and the search is on. Only then does Chadwick realize how much he loves the prettiest girl crab in all of Shady Creek.
Includes many of the characters of the original Chadwick stories, in a longer form but still can read the entire book at one bedtime session. Holds the attention of my 8 year-old boy. Provides some new words to discuss. Love and marriage theme. Not a complex or clever story, but worthwhile. The Chadwick series is one of a long list of favorite stories.

This was a gift for my grandchildren. They love all the Chadwick books and this one is no exception. They interweave a lot of envirnmental and wildlife information into the story and the children learn lots of information without realizing they are learning.
