Title: Great art, such a fun read
Review: Andrea's style is always so fun and quirky. I am always impressed when a children's book elicits squeals of delight from my small children when I myself find the plot thin. As an adult, it is really hard to remember what it was like as a child and to see things from a child's perspective, and yet, Andrea always nails it.

Title: Such a powerful message
Review: This book is FUN. The illustrations will delight any child as well as any grown up sharing the book with a child. But in all the charming goofiness, a child can experience something truly important and comforting. Scary things can be fixed; if a disaster strikes, everyone working together can help make it better.

Review: Why we chose this book:We are keenly aware of the necessity of conservation and respect for the environment. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt provided a review copy in exchange for an honest review.Mom's ReviewCrab Cake is partly realistic and partly anthropomorphic. With the exception of the titular crab, each sea creature behaves naturally. Crab, however, bakes cakes. When a boatload of humans dumps a boatload of trash overboard, all creatures in the sea are terrified. Crab, again is the exception. He simply bakes a cake, which brings the other sea creatures together, sparking a discussion of how to address the pollution problem. Working all together, they haul the junk back to land, pile it on a dock, and attach a sign saying, "Come get your junk!" Once again, the sea creatures return to their natural lives. With the exception of Crab, who still bakes cakes.I particularly like how the animals behave in this book. Over the years, I've moved us away from the animals-as-people books (excepting Richard Scarry, cuz I just love him!), both from taste and research. Crab Cake, however, is one book whose anthropomorphic animals underscore its message. At first, the fish are swimming and doing fishy-things. When the humans dump their trash, disrupting the habitat, however, the natural behaviors are also disrupted. They start talking to each other, working to solve a problem logically, and pairing up with their natural predators. Once the ocean is clean, they return to their realistic selves. These changes drive home the message of just how unnatural and disruptive polluting the ocean is. Furthermore, the creatures' solution is so unrealistic that it cannot but spark conversation about valid options for protecting our oceans. And we see collaboration to solve a problem, always a plus!All in all, Crab Cake is a fun and effective way to encourage conservation. And if you like oceans, according to T, this book is for you.Also posted on my blog: Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk
