A humorous book packed with facts about sharks.
Overall, this was a good book. I liked the idea of a misunderstood shark who is just trying to be nice (it helps that sharks are my favorite animals even though I am absolutely terrified of them- irony, eh?). Each misunderstanding leads to an interesting shark fact, which is both fun and educational (yay, multitasking!).
I loved the illustrations. Very funny and engaging.
The writing was simple, but entertaining. I lost it at "I brought boo-boo strips". Hilarious!
The book ends how you might expect a shark book to end, which was realistic, but may be a little dark for some young readers. It is portrayed in a humorous way, but again, kind of dark so maybe not the best choice for sensitive children.
Overall, a good entertaining and educational picture book about sharks.
