Personal Reaction:
Shark isn't scared of anything.
Getting a shot? No way. It may look like he's crying, but those are just seasonal allergies. The dark? Nope. The dark is scared of him. Dinosaurs? Yeah right. Shark fearlessly faces all of these things with courage.
He is full of bravado, but there might just be one little thing that Shark is afraid of...
I'm A Shark is a hilarious picture book by Bob Shea. If you enjoy Mo Willems, you'll like Bob Shea's colorful illustrations and his tongue-in-cheek humor. His heavy lined, almost childlike style of drawing and brightly colored backgrounds will catch children's attention, and parents will appreciate the sly asides in I'm A Shark.
