Walter and his neighbor, Milton, two lobsters living in the ocean near Boston, Massachusetts, blame each other when heaps of garbage appear in both of their yards as they prepare for the annual garden contest.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A delightfully punny story from the illustrator of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo! Featuring themes about ocean life, conservation, and cooperation that are perfect for sparking conversations in the classroom and at home.

With pictures from the illustrator behind Last Week Tonight's A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, this delightfully punny story about ocean life, conservation, and cooperation is perfect for sparking conversations in the classroom and at home.

Walt is a proud lobstah whose greatest dream is winning the annual Swell Gahdens contest. But year after year that honour always goes to his chowdah-head neighbour Milton. One day, when heaps of gahbage show up in their yahds, the rival lobstahs must join forces to save their beloved gahdens from the trash floating down from above.

Our oceans are beautiful, colourful, diverse ecosystems that are home to over a million species of underwater creatures. Unfortunately, humans are putting our friends under the sea at risk by polluting Earth's oceans daily.

Lobstah Gahden will help kids understand the importance of conservation, and additional backmatter about sea life and pollution will give readers practical ways they can help preserve our oceans.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Lobstah Gahden is praised for its playful character and engaging storytelling while delivering an educational message about pollution. Through its use of puns and local Boston accents, the book effectively teaches children about environmental conservation, making it both an entertaining and meaningful read.
