Always fun reading about these zodiac. This time is Cancer that is represented by crabs. The tale of Calypso is surely interesting, from a shy one to a winner. This was meant to say that those who born under cancer are creative lot, though a bit clumsy on the side.

This book is supposed to be about the cancer sign and being a crab in astrology. I really enjoyed the illustrations, but overall the story is too long, drawn out and extremely repetitive. This book was a DNF. As a reader, it was boring and not keeping the entrance interest of the audience. I wanted to like this book since I love the illustrations but unfortunately no, and it will keep me from trying any other book in the series.

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
This book follows Calypso as she tries to dance and fit in despite her differently-sized claws.
This book was ok but did not draw me in.

Super cute story with a great message. The art style and use of colors were lovely. Not only for kids whose zodiac is cancer but also for adults.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

We follow calypso the crab who is self conscious, because she has two different sized claws. This hinders her to dance like all the other crabs. Now she has to get creative so she can dance with all the others.
A story about finding your strength and using your differences to stand out and be unique.
The art was beautiful, I especially enjoyed the backgrounds.
This was my first one in the series, but I’m probably going to pick up some of the others.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the E-Arc in exchange for an honest review.

A delightful story perfect for a “Papa” to read in bed alongside the 5 year old grandson. We intend to read the entire series when the grandchild again visits.

This is such a fun, wholesome children's story, following the crabs of Christmas Island - part of a fun zodiac series!

Lovely messages that show children they can be whoever they want to be.

Even if you look slightly different to everybody else, you can still do whatever you set your mind to.

Brilliantly illustrated and touching. Calypso’s story teaches us to embrace the things that set us apart and find beauty in our flaws.
