From the publisher

An intricate study of tide pool life is presented in text and pictures through the story of Pagoo, a her-mit crab. “No one who has ever crouched fascinated over a tide pool, peering into its depths and shallows, can fail to be amazed and delighted by the beautiful pictures of those iridescent wonderlands the Hollings have pictured in Pagoo.” – New York Herald Tribune
