Children love rhyme and are fascinated by the sounds of funny and unusual sounding words - and there are plenty to be found in the Snippy The Crab Adventure Series! Written in rhyme with colourful full-page illustrations, these stories are designed to appeal to young minds both visually and aurally. The Snippy tales follow the adventures of a plucky little crab who gets into all kinds of scrapes when he decides to leave his rock pool and explore the world beyond. In Snippy The Crab's Laboratory Lockdown, the fourth in the series, Snippy gets scooped up by a kindly young scientist and taken to a laboratory far from his home. Snippy misses his rock pool and his friends. It all nearly comes to a disastrous end but Snippy escapes in a midnight dash across the deserted moorland!
