<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jim Toomey's environmentally aware comic strip, <i>Sherman's Lagoon</i>, appears in 150 newspapers in 30 countries and in 6 languages. Inside this latest cartoon collection, <i>Discover Your Inner Hermit Crab</i>, more than 42 weeks of <i>Sherman's Lagoon</i> stand ready to transport readers to an imaginary lagoon near the South Pacific island of Kapupu in the Palauan archipelago of Micronesia, where a cast of coral-reef critters battles the encroachment of the hairless beach apes with their so-called civilized human ways.</p><p>Inhabitants of this nautical neighborhood include Sherman, an always-hungry-but-otherwise-typical great white shark; his witty, pearl-wearing wife, Megan; friendly Fillmore the turtle; geeky fish Ernest; macho hermit crab Hawthorne; and salty old Captain Quigley, who remains vengeful having lost his leg to Sherman.</p><p>Lauded for promoting marine conservation, Toomey has been described as a "breath of fresh water" by the <i>Washington Post</i> and designated as an Environmental Hero by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in recognition of his efforts to protect and preserve the nation's environment.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jim Toomey was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia.
