The Lobster's Lost Glasses

Down in the soft blue water beneath the reef, a lobster named Lionel lives in a cozy cave and reads a page of his ship book each morning. When his round reading glasses vanish, the ocean turns blurry and wobbly, so he straightens his blue bow tie and searches the reef alone, checking the sandy nap patch, the tall kelp forest, the old coral arch and the open sand. He finds shells, pebbles and giggling silver fish, but no glasses, and grows more worried and droopy with every stop.

A calm old sea turtle named Sheldon notices and offers simple advice: a wise searcher does not swim alone. Lionel, proud and used to doing things himself, swallows his shyness and asks the fish, crabs and sea snails for help. A tiny shrimp named Pip, wearing a little green seaweed cap, offers to look in small places where big claws cannot reach.
