About this eBook

Clark the Shark celebrates boisterous enthusiasm—and knowing when it's time for indoor voices! A great choice for circle time or for sharing one on one with your energetic little shark.

Clark is a shark with zing, bang, and BOOM. Clark zooms into school, crashes through the classroom, and is rowdy at recess. Clark loves life and always means well—but when his enthusiasm is too much for his friends, Clark's teacher, Mrs. Inkydink, helps him figure out a way to tone it down.

Clark the Shark is a great read-aloud picture book, with fun rhythm and rhyme, from the ever-popular Bruce Hale and Guy Francis. Kids love the energy and humor and ask for repeated readings. At the same time, they get the background message about how to work on impulse control.

Ratings and reviews

Clark the Shark is very enthusiastic. But soon his friends cannot handle him and they avoid him. What happens after that? Enjoyable tale, beautiful illustrations.

Don't worry I will buy you a new toy
