Charmingly read by Julian Clary.

Meet two friends at the beach in this charming seaside story from the brilliant Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard.

With funny rhyming verse, Sharing a Shell is loved by children and parents alike – perfect for listening to at home, in the car, at bedtime – or any time at all!


When Crab finds a new shell, he doesn't want to share it with anyone – especially not a blobby purple anemone and a tickly bristleworm. But life in the rock pool proves tougher than Crab thinks and he soon finds he needs his new housemates.

Enjoy more magical stories from Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, the bestselling team behind the What the Ladybird Heard adventures: Sugarlump and the Unicorn, The Singing Mermaid and The Princess and the Wizard.
