2.46 Joshua Button, Joshua and the Two Crabs (2008)

This is another Magabala children's book, the first my nearly four year old identified as 'having brown skin'.

She was extremely interested in learning that the boy who wrote the story (featured on the back page) lives in the same country as her. She wants to visit him. Also, to go crab fishing which is what this story is about. Though also she is concerned about the possibility of the crabs nipping.

I continue to find the Magabala books good value for introducing the idea of race to very little people.
