Crab Attack!

Crab Attack! is a humorous, realistic recount about two girls who become terrified that the island their aunt lives on is being overrun by crabs. They soon learn that crabs are a regular occurrence during the season and are not to be feared.

Illustrations support interpretation and enhance enjoyment. Colourful, illustrative text is used throughout the story. Speech bubbles are used.

Ellipses are used to show the continuation of thought on another page.

Adjectives include coloured coral, red crabs, and bad dream. Silent letters appear in the words climbed and knew. To conclude, information about what a recount is, as well as supporting illustrations and a chart, are presented on a two-page spread.
