Meet Shelton

The scoundrel of the sea

 

In this playful children’s book, you’ll get to know one crabby crustacean. Shelton might appear likable, but he’ll look at you crosswise, step to you sideways and eat your pizza … backwards? You’ll learn where crabs live, what they eat—even what scares them—all in a silly rhyme kids will love to learn and sing.

Tell me more

Want to learn a little more about crabs? Would it help if I explained some big ol' words like "omnivore" and "nebulous"? Download, print and enjoy these pages to color scenes from the book, connect some dots, search some words and learn some stuff. Did I mention they're all FREE?!?

The Perks of Being a Bookseller

When you order the book through this site, you can get the author to personally sign your copy. Something like … "To Parker — Read on and on 'til the break of dawn!"  tad


Only "tad" will be scrawled in some cool, unintelligible, artist-like way. Then when The Crab Rap makes the New York Times bestseller list and Tad is appearing on talk shows and is the guest picker on ESPN's College GameDay, you can point to that signature and say, "Is this worth anything?"


No. Well maybe. I doubt it. Nevertheless, sweet Parker will enjoy seeing their name in the book. Plus, you'll save two bucks by ordering here (versus Amazon) and will receive the book sooner.

What's this?

New book alert!

It's dark outside. Check. He's sleepy. Check. He's brushed his teeth. Check. So why can't he fall asleep? This rhyming picture book tells the story of one kiddo's quest to snooze. And snore.
