From the publisher

Friends forever—or snack time?

In the deep ocean, tiny Nugget and big, toothy Fang get along swimmingly—until Nugget’s first day of minnow school. There Nugget learns that minnows are supposed to be afraid of sharks! To regain Nugget’s trust, Fang takes desperate (and hilarious) measures. But it’s not until his big sharp teeth save the entire school that minnows learn this shark is no foe. Fantastically stylized artwork adds even more humor to this undersea story of unlikely friendship

“An adorable story. An unlikely happening. An innocent friendship. What happens when innocence turns into knowledge? Can the friendship continue? I think this is such a cute story. Sometimes things are going along just fine and then others tell us that things shouldn't be that way. Do we listen? Or can we stand strong against the pressures of the world and be true to what brings us happiness?”
