For fans of Narwhal and Jelly, this hilarious new graphic novel from the Little Habitats series explores the ecosystem of a bay and the marine creatures and plant life that call it home.

Crab is fed up with the bay. Each day is the same; nobody cares for him or appreciates his sense of humour. So he's leaving. Just when he is about to go, he bumps into Larva, who is looking for a home. Crab agrees to show Larva around the bay, exploring its many places and residents, on his way out.

Together, Crab and Larva visit the sea kelp, a fine shell-ection of oysters, mussels, clams, and a bickering group of sea anemones, amongst many more neighbours in the bay.

Will Larva find the perfect spot to settle here? And if he does, what will Crab do?

Designed for kids aged 6-9, Barnacle Bay features:

  • Science-based information about marine life reviewed by experts
  • Fun facts about underwater creatures and plant life
  • Brightly coloured graphic style illustrations
  • Packed with humour, playful jokes, and fun facts about marine life, this beautifully illustrated graphic novel dives into the fascinating world hidden within this tiny, often overlooked, ecosystem.

Book 1 in the Little Habitats series!

In a big world, we can often overlook the importance of being little! This series of graphic novels for young readers aims to introduce children to nature's small and vital ecosystems. Full of humour and hijinks, each book in the series features a heartwarming story set in a different habitat, with accompanying fact pages throughout. The familiar becomes fantastic as we zoom in on these overlooked creatures and communities, and prepare to laugh out loud as we explore the environments that they inhabit.
