Olly the Oyster Cleans the Bay
by Elaine Ann Allen, illustrations by Kelli Nash
Once there was a young oyster named Olly who lived in
the Chesapeake Bay. He loved to drift with the currents,
but Olly had been traveling his whole life and wanted to
settle down. He wanted to do something important—help
clean the Chesapeake Bay.
But what can a little oyster do? He doesn’t have pincers or
fingers or sharp teeth or legs and feet.
Journey under the Chesapeake Bay with Olly's little
minnow friend and find out how Olly the Oyster Cleans the
Bay.

by Elaine Ann Allen, illustrations by Kelli Nash
Olly loves cleaning the water in the Chesapeake Bay
where he lives with all his friends. But when Olly spies
a sunken ship just beyond the oyster reef, he
decides to explore the old wreck to see if there is
treasure on board.
When Olly arrives at the sunken ship, he finds all the
treasure he could ever imagine, with silver vases,
gold coins, and shiny gemstones everywhere he
looks. But what is treasure without a friend to share it?
Journey under the Chesapeake Bay with Olly and his
friends to learn why his oyster reef is all the treasure
he needs.
