From the publisher
Snippety-snap! Nipper is a clumsy crab. His huge claws always get in the way! When he tries to play catch-the-bubble with his friends, he accidentally pops the bubble. When everyone plays tag, Nipper trips on one of his claws. And when Nipper and his pals play hide-and-seek, Nipper’s big claws smash his hiding place! So Nipper looks for his friends. He finds Turtle and Jellyfish, but there’s no sign of Octopus. Finally, they find him tangled in seaweed. It’s up to Nipper and his claws to set Octopus free!
