Review Detail

“Snarky Sharky” by Bethan Clarke, illustrated by Nikolas Ilic, tells a cute tale of a shark who likes to make biting remarks at others while using his wicked wit to make a point. The illustrations do a wonderful job showing off the many faces of Sharky, whether he’s indifferent, angry, hungry, eager, happy, or concerned. Even though he thinks of himself as one of the big guys, he soon finds out that there are others even bigger than him out there in the depths of the water. He finds that appreciating what he has means a lot when he discovers that the big wide world of water before him doesn’t necessarily have what he wants or expects.
