Penny the Pincer Crab + By the Seashore Knowledge Collection | Digital Product

A beautifully illustrated companion story paired with the complete By the Seashore Knowledge Collection.

Join Penny the Pincer Crab on a delightful rockpool adventure as she discovers that the special features she already has are exactly what help her thrive.

When Penny finds a delicious clam beneath the sand, she tries her hardest to open it—but nothing seems to work. Feeling frustrated, she begins wishing she had long arms like Octopus or sharp teeth like Shark. With a little encouragement from Iggy the Invertebrate, Penny discovers just how remarkable her powerful pincers really are.

To deepen your child's learning, this bundle also includes the complete By the Seashore Knowledge Collection. Together, the story and knowledge booklet help children connect fiction with the real world - building vocabulary, background knowledge and a lasting sense of wonder about life by the seashore.

Why families love Little Worlds

Children learn best when learning is rich in meaning.

Rather than practising isolated skills, children explore one fascinating world through knowledge, stories, conversation and play. By first building knowledge, then revisiting those ideas through a beautifully illustrated companion story, new vocabulary, background knowledge and early literacy skills are woven naturally throughout the experience - helping lay strong foundations for reading comprehension and a lifelong love of learning.
