The Little Lobster: A Lobster Tale

Set off Maine’s coast, this nonfiction account follows a mother lobster as she carries thousands of eggs beneath her tail. It traces her care for the eggs and the release of newborn lobsters, then turns to the young animals’ development. The book covers four growth stages, molting, and the ways baby lobsters live in the ocean. It also introduces the coastal habitat, predators, and a changing marine ecosystem.
