5 Charming "there's no place like home" story set in the sea
Byseaside mom "seasidemom"on October 12, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Charming book about being careful what you wish for, and for those living near the sea,
a secondary message to children to leave sea creatures where they belong. Nicely done.

5 Shelley's old shell verus the prettier one!
ByAngelaon October 9, 2014
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I chose to give this ebook five stars for such a sweet,short sea creature's shell and the
moral of this story is to be satisfied with what you have for a home,etc. I liked this neat
story that could and I hope youngsters will be able to learn from Shelly's mistake the first
time around. Great illustrations as well.
I recommend this ebook for young children old enough to learn from a story and Shelly's
error of thinking! I received this ebook for free and in exchange for
being able to read it I am now doing a review on it. Great work. Eliizabeth! By Angela

I loved this book. I believe that it is an excellent example of poetry and language go
together in nature. I enjoy how she adds a song that she wrote, and put the piano notes
as well. I would suggest this book to people of all ages because if you read it, you will find
something to enjoy.

5 Shelly's a beauty and a delight
ByDanEon October 2, 2013
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Shelly's New Shell is a delightfully written and beautifully illustrated book for children.
When Shelly succumbs to vanity's lure (by cleverly swapping her dreary shell for her
friend's stunningly gorgeous shell), she finds herself in a worrisome predicament. She
uses her wits to escape harm and comes to recognize the simple and comforting beauty
of a humble and familiar Old Shell. It's a pleasure for adults to accompany Shelly on her
journey, and children will enjoy the colorful drawings and benefit from the story's
meaningful message.

5 Wonderful Shelly
ByTori Teigenon September 25, 2013
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Even though my kids are way to old for children's books, we all enjoyed reading this book.
It's beautiful, inventive, cute, and for a younger audience, I'm sure it's really thrilling,
- even delightfully scary. Having grown up at the coast, I remember how fascinating life
and stories related to that habitat was when I was a child, and it's great to experience how
the author is able to bring my childhood paradise into a modern expression.

illustrations really enhance the work. Recommended!

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

"A fable that teaches while it entertains, and it does so brilliantly" "Each picture is marvelous" - Readers' Favorite

Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite 5.0 out of 5 stars

Shelly's New Shell is a children's fable written and illustrated by Elisabeth Ekornes. Shelly is a hermit crab who loves to play in the ocean's waves and has a lot of fun with her hermit crab friends. One day, she looks at Crabelina's shell, which is a pretty pink. Shelly's shell is brown, and she wishes she had a pretty pink shell like Crabelina. Shelly challenges the other hermit crabs to a race and notices that Crabelina is much slower than the rest. Shelly tells Crabelina that she's slower because of her heavy shell, and she offers to trade shells with Crabelina. Crabelina agrees, and Shelly is thrilled with her new pink shell. She's not prepared, however, for the problems she'll have because of that pretty new shell.

Elisabeth Ekornes' children's fable, Shelly's New Shell, is a beautifully written story that teaches that someone else's shell, or coat, or hat is not necessarily better than what you've already got. Shelly learns that lesson in a funny and entertaining story. Ekornes also illustrated her book and each picture is marvelous, with brilliant and bold coloring, and comical figures. I especially liked the picture of Shelly in her new pink shell -- she's wearing a huge grin, and her eyes are agleam with delight. My other favorite is the seagull with the glass stuck on its head, but, to be honest, each picture has its charm and is perfectly matched with the story. Shelly's New Shell is a fable that teaches while it entertains, and it does so brilliantly.
