The Shell on Your Back

Written by respected children's author Robina Beckles Willson with charming illustrations by Bernadette Waters, The Shell on Your Back is a work of non-fiction written for children that discusses the various types of homes occupied by people and different creatures. This book is part of the Heinemann Green Grass series of nonfiction books for young readers, which the back of the book describes as "...imaginative non-fiction books about people and animals, technology and magic, for children to read to themselves." The prose inside is straightforward and yet not over-simplified, so young readers will not feel condescended to, but appropriately challenged. An endearing and informative tale that provides young readers the opportunity to read and learn for themselves.
