Who Turns a Tide Pool Into a Tiny Neighborhood?

Sea stars, crabs, snails, anemones, and small fish survive changing water, salt, and sun in one rocky pool.

The whole story

1. Maya crouched beside a rocky tide pool on a bright morning. She opened her blue notebook and wondered, “Who lives here?”

2. A five-armed orange sea star clung to the rock. “You must be the neighbor in the orange house,” Maya whispered.

3. Under a stone, a small purple shore crab raised one claw. Maya wrote, “The neighbor with the quickest hello.”

4. A brown periwinkle snail rested on seaweed. It carried its house everywhere, which seemed very handy to Maya.

5. Pink and green anemones opened their soft arms in the water. They looked like flowers, but they were animals.

6. Three small fish slipped between the seaweed. The pool was no longer a puddle. It was a tiny neighborhood.

7. Maya drew the neighborhood. The sea star held the rock, the crab hid below it, and the snail grazed along the seaweed.

8. By afternoon, the tide slipped away. More rock showed, the sun grew warm, and the pool became smaller.

9. Maya stayed quiet. The sea star pressed close, the crab found shade, and the snail pulled into its shell.

10. Then the tide came back. Cool seawater poured over the rocks and filled every little street.

11. The neighborhood welcomed the changing water. Sea stars, crabs, snails, anemones, and small fish survived changing water, salt, and sun in one rocky pool.
