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.

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.

I loved the bright colors of the book and it was a nice short story, it easily keeps the interest of my one year old.

I bought this without ever reading it before and totally love it.The colors are nice and bright and how can you not love smiley shark!

Smiley Shark tells the story of a friendly shark whose big sharp teeth scare the other fish in the sea whenever he smiles at them and tries to make friends....but then his scary smile comes in handy when the fish need help. It's a sweet story centering on a kind-hearted shark. My son has loved it since the first time we read it to him. It flows nicely and is on the short side, which makes it a good selection at bedtime. The hardcover is padded and the pages are thick (though I wouldn't call it a board book) which makes it very sturdy for little hands.

My 2 year old loves this book. We got it for him when he was 18 months old, and he is still obsessed with it. Our bookshelf is loaded down with books, but this is the one he grabs for all the time. There's just something about Smiley Shark that he loves.

I bought this book for my 4 year old son. He used to loves sharks, but a few months ago developed a strong fear of them. For a month straight, he was afraid to go to bed because he said he got "bad nightmares" about sharks. He would toss and turn and cry out in his sleep, so I know that he wasn't just trying to stay up later. As soon as I read the description for Smiley Shark, I thought it sounded perfect.

I am happy to report that he loves the book and was willing to believe that the shark was just smiling and not scary. The illustrations are bright and cheerful; he loves the expressions on the various sea creature's faces.

This is a great book for children to read or for parents to read to their children. This book installs a mentality into a childs thoughts that no matter what others think or say or do, you can alwayus be a good person and help others. It also means that what you think is a handicapp now could help you or your friends later on down the road. This is a great book for begining readers or for parents just reading to their children.

My students enjoyed this book and it fit perfectly in our study of oceans unit.
