Misunderstood Shark by Amy Dyckman - OPTIONAL

Dyckman, Ame Misunderstood Shark, illustrated by Scott Magoon.  PICTURE BOOK.  Orchard (Scholastic), 2018.  $18.  9781338112474.

Bob the Jellyfish is trying to film his video about the sea, but shark keeps interrupting.  Shark says he’s not trying to eat anyone, that he is just misunderstood.  Shark sweet talks everyone – until he eats Bob.

Your feelings on this book depend on how you feel about Shark eating Bob at the end of the book.  Up until that moment it is pretty cute.  Then it becomes a little more grim, what with Bob finishing his show from the shark’s belly.
