Clark the Shark and the Big Book Report, by Bruce Hale, illustrated by Guy Francis - ADVISABLE


Hale, Bruce.  Clark the Shark and the Big Book Report, illustrated by Guy Francis.  32 pages.  Harper Collins Children’s, 2017.  $16.99.  Content: G.  EARLY READER.
Clark the Shark is super excited for his book report.  His friend asks him if he’s nervous and he says he isn’t.  He comes up with a great joke about the book and makes a great cover for his report.  But when the moment comes to give his book report, his mind goes blank.  His teacher tells him to speak from his heart—it isn’t perfect, but his classmates all enjoyed it.    

The publisher, Harper Collins, labeled this as an I Can Read, Level 1 book.  Level 1 is “simple sentences for eager new readers.”  Clark the Shark has many books and this one shines in the early reader section for having a strong character and storyline.  Clark the Shark and the Big Book Report will appeal to old fans and new ones.
