Hermy Does It Again!

Once again author Andrea Weathers and illustrator Bob Thames have teamed up to produce another engaging and beautifully illustrated story about a little hermit crab. In this prequel to their first book, Hermy the Hermit Crab Goes Shopping, we find Hermy in the waters off Folly Beach, SC at the time of his "birth". He once again travels to real-life Charleston SC Lowcountry destinations as he grows larger with each site he visits. By the end of the book Hermy finds himself where he started out in the first book. Ms. Weathers captures the essence of coastal living through the eyes of Hermy in a way that is educational and entertaining. Mr. Thames artwork is phenomenal with its colorful images and attention to detail. The innovative format also includes a map of Hermy's journey, and an informative "Hermy's Glossary". I have given the book to children of all ages. It makes a great lap book for children who are not reading yet, but who will be enchanted by the colorful and detailed pictures and fast moving storyline. Older school children will also enjoy the book for its educational value. I highly recommend the book and I can’t wait to see what Hermy will be up to in the next book!!
