A Chadwick Treasury

The Chadwick Treasury begins with the original story of Chadwick the Crab, a little crab in the Chesapeake Bay who has big dreams of becoming a star at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The adventures continue when Chadwick teams up with friends Bernie the Sea Gull, Toulouse the Canada Goose, and Baron Von Heron, among others, to tackle the problem of pollution in Chadwick and the Garplegrungen. Romance blossoms next. Chadwick asks his special friend, Esmerelda, to marry him. Chadwick's Wedding is a joyous event in Shady Creek. Finally, in Chadwick Forever, our beloved crabs celebrate the arrival of their new family just when other bay friends find themselves on the endangered species list. Chadwick hopes readers will enjoy the stories and will also be inspired to help keep the Chesapeake Bay a safe place to live.

“What is most valuable and striking about these stories is the plight of the creatures as humans pollute their home, causing them to get sick or move. It seems a very subtle and effective way to get this destruction through to children as the animals remain endearing, clever, funny and unique. The illustrations are bright and full of color, capturing the mood of each participant. This would make a great classroom read especially if children were studying the environment and what is happening to it today.”
