Summary

The crab has taken many knocks in his life and has developed protective armour. When he meets a transparent prawn he sees a different way to live...This is a story about the self-protecting nature and false identity of the flesh.
 

This is the second of The Animal Parables series. Each tale features an animal who finds that things turn out to be quite different from how it imagined and profound life lessons are learned along the way. These seven, life affirming, tales will delight young minds and leave adults moved to reflection. In this collection Martin Day has re-discovered the power of the parable to layer deeper meanings under the skin of a simple narrative. In doing so he has created a collection of stories that sound at multiple levels. It’s like the delight of finding that second tray under the first in a box of chocolates!
