Colin the Crab's Friends
Mini Crab
Author
Tuula Pere
Illustrator
Roksolana Panchyshyn
Themes
Friendship
This is exactly the kind of story young readers should have at their disposal to become what I think are well-rounded individuals.
I loved how simple the story is, but it permeated with such significance. I feel everyone is told to always work hard to get the things they want in life. But this story does an exquisite job of clarifying exactly how to do so and then, in the same breath showing you how to have meaningful relationships and enjoy life.
The illustrations by Roksolana Panchyshyn give life to the characters and convey the sweetness and charm the story possesses.

He is a good friend to have around, but his friends are also good to him. Friendship is a powerful tool in a healthy, hard-working community and Colin has developed several good friendships.
The illustrations by Roksolana Panchyshyn are bright and colorful and help move the story along.
The language is simple so young readers will start to follow along. Dialogue is used sparingly, but effectively.
