Eric Carle's magnificent collage illustrations invite readers and viewers on a breathtaking underwater tour where brilliantly-colored sea creatures dazzle and delight the eye. His modern-day fable is both wise and simple; based on the true habits of the hermit crab, it not only introduces young readers to the wonder and beauty of the marine environment but also contains an encouraging message for small children facing the inevitable challenges of growing up.Hermit Crab's problem is that he keeps outgrowing things. When he outgrows his first shell-house, he's a bit scared. The next one he finds is big enough -- but depressingly bare. To his happy surprise, all sorts of beautiful and useful undersea neighbors come to his aid and decorate and protect his home. Finally, the new house is perfect but now it, too, has become too small Once again, Hermit Crab must move on. But this time he is not only bigger -- he is more self confident. While he is sorry to leave his friends and his familiar shell behind, he now sees the future as full of exciting possibilities.
Children who must change schools, move to a new town, or even just be promoted to a higher grade will empathize with Hermit Crab's situation, and will take heart as they see that growing up is not really so alarming after all.

Ruined prom for my senior

• The seller's failure to cancel an order, despite promising to do so, resulted in the buyer ordering a replacement item and incurring extra costs.
• Poor communication and unhelpful customer service from Amazon led to significant frustration and disappointment, impacting multiple important events.
• The buyer will no longer use Amazon.
Awful material EXTREMELY WRINKLED ill fitting.

Perfect for Prom, the satin detail elevates the look
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
This sport jacket was a great item for prom. We had it altered and taken in a little to be more form fitting. It was lightweight enough to be comfortable and the color was a nice black with satin collar. It was a great value for the money and this is the second one I've bought. The first one was red for freshman homecoming. Fits true to size as this is a medium but we did want it a little more form-fitting.

well made
Size: Medium, Color: Black
My son looked SO handsome for Prom. This suit was surprisingly well-made for the cost. After pricing tux rental, this was a no-brainer.
