Crusty the Crab exclaims, "I'm bored with this place/ And its limited range./ I think I'll live out/ On the land for a change." Restless and unhappy, he leaves his seaside home under Jaggedy Ledge to look for adventure.
As he travels across Sea Meadow he meets good-natured Fleabus O'Tooley, Beetle Brightknee, and the lovely Flutterby. But he doesn't appreciate their kind patience, even when they help him to survive a scuffle with swarming bees. Finally he nears a dark hedge on the other side of the meadow and runs into trouble with Finefur the Sly. After a narrow escape engineered by his new friends, he realizes that happiness comes more from what you are than from where you live.

As a child, Dawn Watkins liked stories "where the words matched." Now, as a grown-up, she reads and studies serious poetry and occasionally makes up rhymes for the entertainment of many small friends. This tale in verse grew out of an attempt to keep Andrew happy until his mother came home.
At present Miss Watkins teaches writing at Bob Jones University and writes textbooks at Bob Jones University Press. She is the author of the fanciful novel Medallion, the realistic novel Jenny Wren, and several short stories in the READING for Christian Schools series. Recently she has delighted her readers with an original fable, A King for Brass Cobweb.
