Is This a House for Hermit Crab?

Hermit Crab has outgrown his shell, and it’s time for a new home to keep him safe from predators. The beach is strewn with possible choices, but none are quite right. A rock is too heavy; a tin can is too noisy; a fishing net has too many holes.

by the sea, in the sand . . .

When a giant wave sends Hermit Crab careening toward a hungry porcupine fish, will he find a hiding place in time?
