Does A Fiddler Crab Fiddle? No! But fiddler crabs sure do some amazing things! Starting with silly questions like the title, and moving on through increasingly-unlikely questions such as "do fiddler crabs ride a skateboard?," and "do fiddler crabs eat pizza?," children discover what fiddler crabs do. They don't need a skateboard -- they can move sideways so shore birds can't catch them. They may not enjoy pizza, but they gobble up saltmarsh muck. Using this question-and-answer format engages children immediately, and discovering just what fiddler crabs actually do satisfies their curiosity. This is the best kind of nonfiction -- engaging, fun, and filled with the kinds of details that kids love. Co-authored by award-winning writer Corinne Demas and her science-savvy daughter, Artemis Roehrig, and illustrated by John Sandford, Does A Fiddler Crab Fiddle? will have everyone claw clapping loudly for fiddler crabs! With it's author's note providing more information, Does A Fiddler Crab Fiddle? is an outstanding nonfiction picture book for children ages 4-8.
