Items related to Shark in the Dark
The shark has been lurking in the deep, dark sea, searching for a fishy snack. He's big and he's mean and he's always hungry. Tired of fleeing the shark, the other sea creatures come up with a plan. If they all work together, it might be possible to teach the shark a lesson he'll never forget. With a lively rhyming text; bright, expressive illustrations; and a playful die-cut cover, this is one shark's tale that will be a hit either at story hour . . . or feeding time.

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Peter Bentley studied languages at Oxford. He enjoys visiting schools and sharing his writing. Inspired by living close to the sea, Shark in the Dark is Peter's first picture book. He lives Totnes, England with his wife and two children.
Ben Cort studied illustration at Harrow College. He is well-known for his novelty phone books and in 2004 he was shortlisted for The English 4-11 Awards for the Best Children's Illustrated Books of 2003. As well as illustration, Ben is also interested in photography and computer manipulated imaging. Ben lives in Battersea, England.
PreSchool-Grade 1—The best part of this book is the cover, which has a cutout resembling sharp teeth through which readers can see a hungry shark surrounded by frightened fish. In rhyming text, children learn about the creature that just ate but wants more, the "shark in the dark." Many kinds of fish are highlighted as they see their potential attacker. While they are escaping, they chance upon a friendly squid that comes up with a plan to make sure that the shark never eats in their neighborhood again. The last page shows an illustration of all the fish forming a whale, and the text states that working together is the best way to solve a problem. Young children will probably love looking at the appealing cartoons, and the text will pull them right into the story. However, Lio Lionni's classic Swimmy (Knopf, 1963) tells the same story.—Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City END
