Every day, Pip puffed bubbles at the tide-pool workshop and watched them pop: plip, plop, pffft. He wanted a bubble button that would stay round long enough to decorate his shell cart. One day, a tiny crab in a bottle-cap hat skittered in and snapped, “Too wobbly!”

Because of that, the crab sneezed—ACHOO!—and his hat stamped perfect heart shapes into the wet bubbles. Finally, Pip pressed each one with his own fins until they dried bumpy and bright. Next time you spot those heart cheeks and floating bubbles, can you find the crab’s sneaky button idea?
