Jimmie the blue crab wakes up hungry. In his search for food, he
encounters a toadfish that might eat him and a crab pot that could
carry him up and away. Jimmie survives these perils because the
toadfish is full of oysters, and he is small enough that he falls
through and escapes the crab pot. He meets a diamond back terrapin
turtle named Terrie and they become fast friends while searching
for food together. Jimmie and Terrie find a dead fish and eat it
all up. They then hide in some seagrass and sleep for the night.
During the night, Jimmy sloughs out of his old small shell and is
now a little bigger. The next morning, Jimmie and Terrie again go
searching for food. Jimmie the Crab: An Adventure in the Chesapeake
Bay includes photographs of the underwater animals in the book and
some information about each one. The events in the story are
real-life scenarios that play out beneath the surface of Chesapeake
Bay any time of year when the water temp is high enough for crabs
and turtles to be active. For most of his life, Joseph Christopher
Cullis has called the Chesapeake Bay his playground. He lives on
the Delmarva Peninsula on Maryland's eastern shore and has
published two books of poetry. This is his first book written for
children. "The idea of Jimmie the Crab started with an impromptu
banter between my oldest brother and me. Once I started writing it
out, the story kind of wrote itself." Publisher's website: http:
