A house for Hermit Crab (Relié)

Hermit Crab's problem is that he keeps outgrowing things. When he outgrows his first shell-house, he's a bit scared. The next one he finds is big enough—but depressingly bare. lb his happy surprise, all sorts of beautiful and useful undersea neighbors come to his aid and decorate and protect his home. Finally, the new house is perfect but now it, too, has become too small ! Once again, Hermit Crab must move on.
But this time he is not only bigger—he is more self-confident. While he is sorry to leave his friends and his familiar shell behind, he now sees the future as full of exciting possibilities.
