Smiley Shark [Hardcover]

Ruth Galloway (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Far away in the deep rolling ocean lived Smiley Shark. Smiley Shark longed to dip and dive, jiggle and jive, dart and dash with a splish and a splash with all the other fish; but whenever he smiled at them they swam away. But when all of the other fish are trapped in a fisherman’s net, it’s up to Smiley Shark to find away to free them—and he saves the day with his big, toothy smile!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, November 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Smiley Shark (Hardcover)

Our 2.5 yr old son has a love/hate relationship with sharks. Loves them, but is also scared of them. I got him this book to help him overcome his fear of sharks (they always seem to be in his closet or under his bed at night - thank goodness our dog can sleep in his room & "eat" the sharks).

We've had the book less than 24 hours & we've read it to him at least 6 times already. He thought it was sad that the others would not play with him. Now he just loves sharks.

It's a very bright & colourful book that also names a few of the fish. It's great considering our son also loves watching Finding Nemo.

This review is from: Smiley Shark (Hardcover)

My preschoolers love this book. Smiley shark is a great book for learning about the ocean or talking about teeth or just having fun reading. The story line is simple. All the creatures are scared of Smiley Shark until one day he saves them from a fisherman's net and they all become his friend. the Story is wrote very nicely and the art work is wonderful. I have read this book several time to the children and they often will ask to read it again. Another great book is "Shark Trouble," About two monkeys trapped on small seperate islands with sharks swimming around the islands. All the kids love the shark books.

I absolutely love this book. It has become my favorite to read to my sea-life obsessed [...] out of the many books we have. The story is adorable, the illustrations are wonderful and overall it is definitely 5 stars in our book.
