Shark in the Dark
Down at the bottom of the deep, dark sea, something big, mean and terribly greedy is stirring. . . It's the shark in the dark!
The poor fish in the sea live in fear of the nasty shark. They don't want to be his dinner! Just as the shark is closing in, the fish meet a clever squid, who hatches a plan to teach the shark a lesson once and for all. It involves a shadowy head, a shadowy tail, and a huge amount of teamwork! Can the flustered fish pull it off?
The Shark in the Dark is a tremendously funny book written by Peter Bently and illustrated by Ben Cort – with a biting twist!
