Who Rules the Rockpool?

Book Synopsis

Crab is a big crab in a small rockpool and he RULES THE ROCKPOOL . . . or so he thinks.

When a big wave sweeps him and Prawn into an even larger pool, he has to reevaluate his place in the hierarchy. If Crab doesn’t RULE THE ROCKPOOL, who does?

Acclaimed picture-book creator, Matty Long, brings his hallmark talents of deadpan comedy and hilarious illustrations to this fascinating picture book. Readers can feast on a diet of facts about the ecosystems of a rockpool and laugh out loud at the same time.

Our Review Panel says...

A wonderfully detailed picture book about life in a rockpool. Crab thinks he is the king of the rockpool because of his strength, but Prawn thinks differently and is all for playing safe. So, off the friends go on an adventure to discover who rules the rockpool meeting all sorts of colourful and interesting creatures on the way.

The story is told with great humour full of fishy puns. Parents and children will have great fun sharing this book as every time you look at the illustrations you find new details. There is a great section at the back of the book giving further information on rock pooling and the creatures you may find.
