The Little Lobster

Off the coast of Maine, a mother lobster crawls along the ocean floor. Hidden under her tail are thousands of tiny lobster eggs! Follow this mama lobster as she nourishes and protects her eggs and sets her newborn babies free. Then watch as the babies grow. From birth, through their four stages of growth, and molting, readers will learn how baby lobsters survive and thrive in the ocean.


Teeming with facts about lobsters and their babies, The Little Lobster is perfect for the curious mind. Readers will feel as if they are swimming right alongside the little lobster, caught in the soft and flowing rhythm of Corke’s enchanting watercolor illustrations, perfectly balanced with Hotz’s gently presented yet informative text.
