The illustrations alone are worth the price!

I am delighted to see this classic is still in print! I vividly recall the gorgeous illustrations from the first time I opened the book. It fueled my interest in art and in biology. I recommend it highly to anyone who has curious, creative elementary age children (or who works with them).

I still love this book...

When I was a young child I enjoyed this book immensely. I read and re-read this book, and then re-read it again. I recently found my dog-eared, falling apart copy of this book. It brought up a lot of nostalgia, and just for grins I read it again. It is still just as good as when I first read it. I was given a small collection of Holling books as a child, but Pagoo was my favorite. It instilled in me a love for sea life, which I followed through exploring the beaches of the Pacific NW, my practically life-long home. This book is wonderful, and I am buying several new copies to pass on to all of my young friends.

My favorite book from childhood

Of all the many books I read as a child, this one stands out as the best children's book I encountered. It awakened a keen interest in the biology of the sea that I keep to this day, in the form of scuba diving, fishing, and maintaining a reef aquarium with, yes, hermit crabs! This is just a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations and can awaken a sense of wonder in a child for the natural world that a parent can follow up with a visit to the seashore. This book can make the water come alive and get a child thinking about the life beneath the waves. Don't miss it.

Every new generation has to know Pagoo.

I can't remember a time when I didn't know Pagoo, and yet I know that reading Pagoo brought me my first awareness and love of hermit crabs. I saw to it that my daughter was introduced to Pagoo and when she went to marine camp and learned about tidepools and worried about what would happen when children take marine creatures from their habitat and break the foodchain, a new book with a message that marine creatures survive in their natural habital was born. Thanks to the inspiration of Pagoo, P. HERMIT CLAIMS A CASTLE (also available from amazon.com) is here to send an environmental message to children to leave all the Pagoo's in the tidepools.
