Crustacean Vacation

  Author:   Brian Benoit  
  Artist :   Marty Kelly    
  Publisher:  Islandport Press

Where do you go when you’re feeling crabby and just need a vacation? To the seaside, of course!

Join this frolicksome family of curious crabs as the scuttle on land to picnic at the beach (peanut butter and jellyfish, anyone?), try their luck in an arcade, and slide and glide in a water park. Be prepared, because this is no ordinary boardwalk. A seagull runs the sweet shop; an octopus sits in the lifeguard chair; and a shark runs the tattoo parlor.

Brain Benoit’s wacky rhymes pair with Marty Kelley’s inventive illustrations in this one-of-a-kind picture book. So get ready to relax, be a little shellfish, and enjoy a crustacean vacation!

Brian Benoit
Originally from Somersworth, New Hampshire, author Brain Benoit now listens for the roar of surf deep in the woods of Cavendish, Vermont. His sea creatures were originally conjured up to entertain his brother during family trips on the Maine coast, but have since proven popular with his own children. He finds inspiration in the poetry of Ogden Nash, Shel Silverstein, T.S Eliot, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. When he’s not playing with language, he indexes historical government documents for NewsBank/Readex. He shares his life with his wife, Jennifer; daughter, Emery; and son, Liam. Crustacean Vacation is his first children’s book.
