Bookroo's summary

In the vibrant Coral Jungle, Simon Seahorse and Olive Octopus stumble upon a shark named Zelda. Initially frightened, they soon learn that Zelda is not what they expected. Invited to a birthday party at Shark Point, Simon finds himself with a unique school report and an exciting tale to tell. As they navigate this new friendship, Simon and Olive discover that there's more to sharks than meets the eye. What surprises await them at Shark Point, and how will this encounter change their view of the ocean's most feared creatures?

From the publisher

Simon Seahorse meets a shark in this second book of The Not-So-Tiny Tales of Simon Seahorse chapter book series–and it turns out sharks make for great stories…and great friends! Simon and Olive love playing “I Spy” in Coral Jungle because there are so many things to see! There are different types of coral, seagrass, and all sorts of fish. But one day they spy…a shark! They swim away as fast as they can, but the shark catches up to them and introduces herself. And it turns out Simon and Olive–and all of Coral Grove–have a lot to learn about sharks. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Not-So-Tiny Tales of Simon Seahorse chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
