Reviews
"Robbins' bright, childlike illustrations and minimal text match the sweet simplicity of her tale. Both tapir and hermit crab are adorable. An important lesson deftly delivered." -Kirkus Reviews (U.S.) || "Recommended. ... A bold colourful illustrative technique will encourage all readers to look at the details presented on the page, ponder why Emma is a tapir, look more closely at shells and shell collecting, tapirs and hermit crabs, and try to draw some shells themselves, using the sparkling endpapers as a guide." --ReadPlus (Australia)
