The series is suitable for children age five and over. In brief, the series is an altogether pleasant children's picture story for edification and entertainment. The humorous and compassionate story depicts the peculiar adventures of this little crawdad and his friendship with the boy, interweaving birds, spiders, snails, slugs and worms. The little fellow is twice rescued and earns his name "Micro Polo." Best of all, he turns out to have many personal qualities; his playful nature helps the boy improve Grandma's sad mood. The language and images are designed to entertain, catch the eye and hold the attention of children. The story offers much to learn about family love, friendship, empathy and compassion as well as a lesson or two about refraction.
