Claws Synopsis

Celebrate the allure and variety of crustaceans with this beautifully illustrated guide to thirty species of crabs, lobsters, hermit crabs, and shrimps.

Turn the pages of Claws and dive into a world of empathy and wonder for the natural realm by marveling at these curious, elegant, resilient sea creatures. Crabs, shrimps, hermit crabs, and lobsters have long populated the collective imagination:

  • Observed on the beach or among the rocks, they constitute a diverse and fascinating slice of marine life.
  • Endowed with strong eyesight, articulated legs, and adept pincer claws, crustaceans scuttle with ease from the ocean depths to the tidal zones and beyond.
  • Some crabs live in rivers, migrate on the ground into tropical forests, and can even hide inside carnivorous plants.

The first half of the book contains gorgeously detailed and realistic illustrations and delves into the species' main characteristics and the secrets of their underwater world. The second half features specimen cards with scientific information and fun facts for easy reference.

REMARKABLE CREATURES: Fascinating in their variety, crustaceans make adept use of their keen eyesight, articulated legs, and strong pincer claws.

THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED SCIENTIFIC FACTS: Various species of crabs, hermit crabs, lobster, and shrimp are explored in these pages, with in-depth information on habitats and habits as well as fun facts.

BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE: This petite, gift-worthy hardcover is brimming with colorful, detailed illustrations. Pair it with Sea Wonders, by the same creative team, to create a gorgeous set for anyone fascinated by marine life.

Perfect for:

  • Anyone with an interest in marine creatures and the undersea world
  • Birthday, housewarming, or seasonal gift for nature lovers
  • Oceanography and marine biology students, teachers, and professionals
  • Fans of animal and nature books like Ocean Anatomy and Life Between the Tides
