Description
Sharky McShark and the Teensy Wee Crab by Alison Murray introduces readers to Sharky McShark, the biggest bully in the deep blue sea. When she's around, the clownfish clear out, the flatfish flee—even the rocks get out of the way. Sharky has no friends, and she doesn't want any!
But one day, a teensy wee crab tumbles into Sharky's life...
This is a fantastically fishy adaptation of the classic fable The Lion and the Mouse, delivering a strong message about friendship and giving others a second chance.
