Cactus Joe is a lean 'n' mean prickle machine! He lives all alone
in the desert and that's the way he likes it . . . until a
woodpecker offers Joe a mighty fine deal: he'll eat Joe's pests if
he gives him a home. Yeehaw! But soon more and more birds come to
stay, and Joe decides enough is enough. All Joe wants is to be left
alone . . . or does he? A heartwarming rhyming tale inspired by a
real-life cactus!
Set to an upbeat seaside rhythm by Lily Murray and brought to life

ecological issues that affect animals around the world. Sheldon the
hermit crab needs a new home, so it’s time for him to scour the
beach and look for the perfect shell. However, the only thing he
can find is rubbish! There are plastic bottles and tin cans
littered everywhere. It’s a good job he has his fellow beach-side
animal friends to help, as well as one little girl who is
determined to clean up his environment for good. Plastic bottles
and other rubbish are huge threats to marine life. Sheldon's New
Shell is published in partnership with the successful environmental
charity, Surfers Against Sewage, which is dedicated to the
protection of our oceans.
