The Shark King: Toon Level 3 by R. Kikuo Johnson
4.0
This retelling of a Hawaiian myth in comic book format was complimented by its wonderful art and pacing. The story, while strange, has its high points and sad points. I'm not sure if there is a moral or an origin story hidden in there or if this was just a story parents told their children at night, but either way I enjoyed the read.
One highlight of the book for me was the last page which has an illustration of one of the characters playing checkers (or a game like checkers) with a crab. It made me laugh out loud and when I pointed it out to my girl, she laughed and said I didn't notice that when I read it, so I wanted to make sure everyone else glanced at the last page for the chuckle.
