When I was a kid, I had a copy of Eric Carle’s A House for Hermit Crab. I don’t know if this is how it was usually printed, but the edition I had was GIGANTIC. As big as one of those shmanshy Artist Editions Boom puts out. The spectacle of scale is not to be underestimated in its ability to form an impression. Needless to say, I still have a soft spot for Hermit Crabs (which nests nicely inside the broader, squishier spot I have for animals that carry their homes/have shells).
