Shark Ahoy
Here's a story the sailors sing
Of a tiny fish and a mighty king
Who became best friends of all strange things
Beneath the ocean waves.
While all the other fish flee in terror from the white-tipped shark, a brave pilot fish strikes up an unlikely bargain with him - she'll clean his teeth and scratch his head, so long as he keeps her safe and sound from the other scary beasts in the sea.
At first the shark reluctantly agrees, but very soon he comes to discover that life with his pilot fish pal is not so bad after all. But when the shark gets caught on a fishing line, the two friends are pulled apart and must face life in the sea alone. Can they find their way back to one another?
Discover one of nature's most unexpected friendships in this heart-warming sea-shanty-inspired picture book from Jeanne Willis and Ben Whitehouse.
