Publisher Description
Clark the Shark celebrates boisterous enthusiasm—and knowing when it's time for indoor voices! A great choice for circle time or for sharing one on one with your energetic little shark.
Clark is a shark with zing, bang, and BOOM. Clark zooms into school, crashes through the classroom, and is rowdy at recess. Clark loves life and always means well—but when his enthusiasm is too much for his friends, Clark's teacher, Mrs. Inkydink, helps him figure out a way to tone it down.
Clark the Shark is a great read-aloud picture book, with fun rhythm and rhyme, from the ever-popular Bruce Hale and Guy Francis. Kids love the energy and humor and ask for repeated readings. At the same time, they get the background message about how to work on impulse control.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clark's intentions are good, but his voracious enthusiasm for school (where he's the only shark pupil among smaller sea creatures) results in some awkward moments. "Munch your own lunch," says his best friend, Joey Mackerel. "You are playing rough, Clark!" complain the other kids at recess. When Clark's teacher gives him some advice "Stay cool" he turns it into a personal mantra, coming up with rhymes for occasions when good behavior is needed ("When teacher's talking, don't go walking"). Francis's bubbly illustrations of overeager Clark and his friends create a lively undersea environment, and similarly rowdy kids may find Clark's rhyming technique a useful tool. Ages 4 8.
