Bookroo's summary
During an underwater TV shoot, chaos ensues when a shark interrupts the scene. Accused of being a menace, this shark insists he's just misunderstood. Is he truly harmless, or is there more to his toothy grin? As the crew grapples with fear and confusion, the shark's intentions remain a mystery. With humor and unexpected twists, this tale explores what it means to be misunderstood, leaving readers questioning if appearances can be deceiving. Dive into a story where laughter meets curiosity, and discover if the shark can ever prove his innocence.
From the publisher
Every beachgoer knows that there’s nothing more terrifying than a… SHARRRK! But this shark is just misunderstood, or is he? In a wholly original, sidesplittingly funny story, New York Times bestselling author Ame Dyckman and illustrator Scott Magoon take this perennial theme and turn it on its (hammer)head with a brand-new cheeky character. The filming of an underwater TV show goes awry when the crew gets interrupted by a… SHARRRK! Poor Shark, he wasn’t trying to scare them, he’s just misunderstood! Then he’s accused of trying to eat a fish. Will Shark ever catch a break? After all, he wasn’t going to eat the fish, he was just showing it his new tooth! Or was he? Explosively funny, extraordinarily clever, and even full of fun shark facts, this surprisingly endearing story gets to the heart of what it feels like to be misunderstood by the people around you. With a surprise twist ending, our Misunderstood Shark will have kids rolling with laughter!
