Wonderfully written, and great illustrations! 
I am a big fan of Bill Peet! I didn't really discover him until I was a mom for a few years, but the first book I read was a great introduction to me, and I quickly checked out all the Bill Peet books in the local library. Our family has been collecting these little by little, and Kermit the Hermit is one of his best works. I have never read a Bill Peet book that was dissapointing. Kermit the Hermit shows genuine love and concern for all.

Bill Peet is a Winner
In addition to his marvelous children's stories, Bill Peet wrote an awesome autobiography--ideal for 8-12 year olds. I cannot imagine a young boy not being drawn into his story.

Fun, cute, and with a good message
I found this book remaindered, and picked it up just because it was set in Monterey Bay. I was delighted to find that it was a terrific story, and that my daughter (age 2-1/2) loved it.My only criticism is that some of the poetry is a bit strained, but it doesn't detract from the overall excellence. Great pictures, good characters, and a fine message. And, by the way, the pictures very accurately portray Monterey Bay, both above and below the water.

Selfish shellfish finds satisfaction in doing for others
Bill Peet is a wonderful children's book author and Kermit The Hermit is a great example of his work. It is a 1965 story about a Hermit Crab who starts out the story as a selfish shellfish. Through an act of human kindness, he learns the emptiness of a self-centered life. Kermit devotes himself to repaying the favor and finds satisfaction in doing for others.The book is a long rhyming poem with delightful color illustrations surrounding the text. This is a story that children and those who read to them are sure to enjoy.

Is Bill Peet Dr. Suess' Brother?
This book feels like it is written by Dr. Suess, with the same cadence in the rhymes. The language is a tad more sophisticated, but both my son and I love the book! It is so much fun to read, I don't know who enjoys it more.
