Moonlight Crab Count
Dr. Neeti Bathala, Jennifer Keats Curtis, illustrated by Veronica V. Jones
Leena, her mother, and their dog Bobie volunteer each summer to count horseshoe crabs at their beach. On a night by the shore, they survey crabs that have come to mate and lay eggs. Their work is part of a citizen-science effort to conserve these ancient animals. The story combines a family’s summer activity with facts about horseshoe crabs and their conservation.
