George Selden, the beloved Newbery Honor-winning author of The Cricket in Times Square, brings his signature warmth and humor to the ocean floor in this 1966 tale. Oscar Lobster's Fair Exchange follows a crab, a fish, a starfish, and an industrious lobster who decide to build their own garden using treasures dropped by humans.
