Product Description

Product Description
Down at the bottom of the deep dark sea Something is stirring and it wants its tea ...The shark in the dark is big, mean and greedy and he enjoys tormenting all the little fishes in the depths of the ocean. Until one day, a squid comes up with a cunning plan to unite the fish and teach the shark a lesson he'll remember forever. This is a tremendously funny rhyming story, with a biting twist!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting Story for Young Children - Highly recommended, 11 Oct 2008
'Childrens books' is an area where there are so many excellent books. I have to say The Shark in the Dark stands out amongst the best. My children think it is 'Cool' - they love the story and illustrations - we read it over and over again. For something different - and fun - Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Shark in the dark, 18 Feb 2009
The Shark in the Dark
I borrowed this book from the library... again ..and again.. and again. It is fantastic, a firm favourite of both my five year old daughter and two year old son, who can repeat the whole book as you turn over each page! The rhymes are excellent to read out loud and the ingenuity of the little fishes gets me every time I read it. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fangtastic, 27 Jun 2009

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Shark in the Dark (Paperback)
OK, lets keep this one short, this book is fantastic. How's that? LOL Seriously though its great, a well written story for the younger market with beautiful colourful pictures that will keep them amused long after the stories been told that will turn this from an occasional read to a firm favourite. Add to the mix the moral of brain overcomes brawn and you've got something a little special to enjoy. Perhaps even a story to inspire the next generation of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's.
