Bookroo's summary

In the deep ocean, Smiley Shark just wants to play, but his toothy grin scares everyone away. When a fisherman's net traps the other fish, Smiley Shark faces a challenge: can his smile become their salvation? Dive into this underwater adventure where courage and a big smile might just save the day. Will Smiley Shark's unique gift turn fear into friendship?

From the publisher

Far away in the deep rolling ocean lived Smiley Shark. Smiley Shark longed to dip and dive, jiggle and jive, dart and dash with a splish and a splash with all the other fish; but whenever he smiled at them they swam away. But when all of the other fish are trapped in a fisherman’s net, it’s up to Smiley Shark to find away to free them–and he saves the day with his big, toothy smile!
