Splash and Bubbles : Shark Surprise - Don't Judge a Fish by its fin! Adapted from the TV series by Liza Charlesworth, PICTURE BOOK Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018. $5.

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

When Dunk finds a tooth, the friends try to find out who it belongs to. But when Denny the shrimp identifies it as a shark's tooth, everyone is a little on edge. A Shark living in Reeftown? But sharks are dangerous. Then they meet a new friend, Zee, who can help them find where the shark lives. 

For kids who love this PBS kids series, this is a lot of fun. Illustrated with characters just like the ones on TV, and the stories are adapted from the show. Also includes some great information about sharks (and an adorable small one). Best of all, the book comes with reusable stickers and a fold out play scene.
