CIP Info According to his bossy sisters, Shelly is taking far too long to develop, but Shelly will emerge from his shell when he's good and ready. But when will that be?

Shelly’s three sisters are impatient and want Shelly to come out of his shell. They try everything to get him out. Finally they give up and leave. With the day to himself, Shelly plays and enjoys being alone. My favorite part is at the end when he finally tells his sisters that he will be ready on Wednesday, he just didn’t say which Wednesday. This is a good book for siblings, the older and the younger ones. It is a great book about being you. The illustrations suit the story, but other than that not fantastic.
