The Boy Who Lived in a Shell: Snippets for Wandering Minds

John Himmelman

Ivo lives on a beach inside a giant moon-snail shell. After a wave carries him out to sea, he waits to be rescued and writes story poems on the shell’s inner walls. The poems introduce imaginative figures, including a dolphin who brings him a crayon, a crab who writes while Ivo sleeps, a carrot boy who becomes a rabbit, and two separated sibling pups searching for one another.
