Shark in the Dark

Its almost Beautyful. It has a Big BUT The color is so deep blue, that is quite imposible to read . Paper and print are amazing, but to be able to enjoy it, you need a very very brighr light. I read to made my boy fall asleep, so a bright light just do not fit

This is a cute children's book with rhyming lines. The mean greedy shark is coming up from the dark ocean depths to eat a bunch of fish--and he's portrayed as the scary, selfish, mean bad guy. The fish panic (in rhyme) and race off. A nearby squid comes up with a creative and humorous solution. My 4 year old son loves it. The cover has a jagged hole in it to mimic a broken ship porthole--the shark is looking through--it's a neat 3-d feature that my kid really enjoys. The art work is interesting and the drama is enough to keep a kid interested but not be too scarey. It definitely vilifies the predator, a common issue with many story books, but if you can live with that, it's a great book.

Grandson loves this book so was thrilled to find it for him. It seems to be out of print, was unable to find a new book so purchased used. Unlike some, this book was in very good condition.

This author is so great that I seek out his books. I work as a volunteer in an inner city school in San Francisco. I work with k thru 2nd and this book is most suitable for the k's and 1's since it has rhythm and the rhyming text helps in their reading readiness skills and to top it off, he tells a good story. I am gradually accumulating all of his books.

My nephew has this book at school and I decided to order it for him and I had no idea how much he loved it. He is three and you would think he could read because he basically is reciting the book from memory. He thinks the authors name and artist are part of the story and reads them to you in the whole story.

Great book! My son reads it 3 times a day minimal!

My grandson loves this book. I read to him this book everyday. He knows most of story by heart. He likes to be the shark in the dark. He can not read yet but he can say all of the shark's part word for word.

This is my son's favorite book- he's three. Great book overall.

My children both love this story and I really like it too. It has a nice message and the way it is written makes it really enjoyable to read. The illustrations are lovely and colourful and it is really nice quality printing and paper. We like this so much it is our second copy, the first got read so many times it fell apart!

Kids had read this at nursery and demanded I buy it one day, but after searching all the bookshops in town, we couldn't find it anywhere. Hurrah for Amazon - good price, quick delivery and the book now takes pride of place in our bedtime story pile. I'd never heard of it until the kids asked for it, but I soon learned to love the quirky rhymes and storyline with a twist. My daughter loves it so much she can now recite the story from memory!! Great buy....

My son is mad on sharks so got this for him for our bedtime story - he loves it! He is 4 years old and loves the story, the illustrations and of course the shark. I knew I couldn't go wrong with this book for him.Read it every day/night since getting it and cant see him getting tired of it anytime soon even though I am!

Somewhere in the bottom of the deep dark sea, something is stirring and it wants it’s tea…

This is a decent kids book. By that I mean, it keeps my little one amused, I have read it around a dozen times so far to her, and it does not make me lose the will to live. Some of the books she has make me want to groan when she asks for them, this one doesn't.
