*Signed Bookplates from Beth Ferry AND Jared Chapman!*

The first title of a new graphic early reader series by New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry and beloved illustrator Jared Chapman, perfect for fans of the Narwhal and Jelly and Pea, Bee & Jay series

Welcome to the surf zone, where Crab and Snail live, think deep thoughts, and have unforgettable seaside adventures!

In this series debut, the never-ending rain is putting a damper on Crab and Snail’s plans for a sunny, funny day. So when the BBFs (Best Beach Friends) realize that it’s only raining on them, they put their heads together and consult one know-it-all gull (he really does know it all!) to get to the bottom of it. By the time the rain clears, the duo will have made a new friend (spoiler alert—she’s invisible!), witnessed a rainbow and fireworks, and learned something new about friendship. 

Crab and Snail will be everyone’s next favorite characters in the graphic early reader space. Fans of Narwhal & Jelly; Pea, Bee, and Jay; and Arlo & Pips will love these quirky characters and clever stories.
