Mr. Lobster has evaded the fishermans trap for decades, but life in his corner of the ocean seems duller by the day. The time has come to seek new adventures, new friends, and evengasp!new, dry lands. Dry land is of course perilous for a saltwater-dwelling creature, as are the folks you can meet there, like badgers, bears, birds, and snakes. But Mr. Lobster has a way of turning every enemy into a dear friend and of escaping the scrapes his curiosity gets him into.
