Bookroo's summary

Ugly Fish rules his tank with an iron fin, refusing to share his driftwood tunnel or briny flakes. But when a larger, meaner fish arrives, Ugly Fish's reign is threatened. Will he learn the value of sharing, or face the consequences of his bullying ways? Dive into this humorous tale of underwater comeuppance and discover what happens when the tables turn on a bully.

From the publisher

Ugly Fish is ugly and big and mean, and he won’t share his driftwood tunnel or his special briny flakes with anyone. And that means the wimpy little fish who keep showing up in his tank have got to go. But then one day someone bigger and uglier and maybe even meaner arrives . . . and suddenly Ugly Fish isn’t feeling quite so confident anymore. From Kara LaReau, author of the Rocko and Spanky series, here is an irreverent and terrifically funny book about a bully who at last gets his comeuppance.
