Have you read [1] A House for Hermit Crab by [2] Eric Carle lately? I haven’t. I love the book and the way the crab invites other sea creatures to join him to decorate his house, keep it clean, etc. I especially like it because there is a sea anemone in it and I love to say the word “anemone”. I’ve offered to read it many times over the last few days but Reid has always refused me. This morning, while I was in the shower, she let Ken read it. I strained to hear the story but it’s hard to listen and shower. I missed the anemone part entirely. To make it all that much worse, when I mentioned my twinge of jealousy to Ken, he told me that he doesn’t like Eric Carle books anyway. Two things: 1. How can he not like Eric Carle? 2. Did he have to tell me?

If you haven’t read A House for Hermit Crab lately, you really should. I’m going to do so, even if I have to read it only to me.
