The Shark
who was Afraid of Everything!
Written by: Brian James

Scholastic Inc. 2002
31 pages
Fiction
I chose this book because I wanted
to read a book about friendship, which is just what this book is about. Sharkie
the shark is no ordinary shark. Sharkie is scared of everything! He is always
being teased by his brothers and sisters so he decided to move away. Little did
Sharkie know there was a small fish named Lily who followed him. They became
great friends and Lily helps Sharkie conquer his fears!
The
pictures in this book are very cartoonist. There are many deep blues and greens
used with a hint of bright yellows. The shapes of the book help the reader to
see how big Sharkie’s fears are to him. There are many different lines used to
demonstrate Sharkie’s range of moods.
The
Shark who was Afraid of Everything would be a great read for preschool or
kindergarten students. I would use this book during the first week of school to
let student know it is ok to be scared sometimes and that everyone is the class
will help each other to get through it. This book is another great rhyming book
as well. The rhymes are easy enough that children could read along with them.
