High Tide for Horseshoe Crabs
by Lisa Kahn Schnell, illustrated by Alan Marks
Ages 3-7. Charlesbridge, 2015
Here come the horseshoe crabs!
Each spring, millions of horseshoe crabs lurch onto the shores of Delaware Bay. In the moist sand they mate and lay their eggs.
Here come the birds!
Drawn by the horseshoe crab eggs, thousands of migrating shore birds descend upon the bay. They are exhausted and very, very hungry.
Here come the people!
Curious about the commotion, people arrive from all over the globe. For a few short weeks, they are part of one of the most extraordinary events in the animal world.
Come join the frenzy!
Look for High Tide for Horseshoe Crabs at your local library, and wherever books are sold.
