Meet Alan the hermit crab. Alan has a shiny new shell that comes complete with a great barnacle called Dave, stuck on the top. Alan is DELIGHTED with his new shell – he feels like the most marvellous crab in the sea and all the others agree… that is, until they see new crab Steve, whose shell is even fancier!

Will Alan be able to overcome his feelings of jealousy and see that it’s not what you have, it’s about what you do? Because the fate of Dave the barnacle depends on it!
