Review

Clark the shark remains in the dark... about girls that is. He wants to show Anna Angelfish that he likes her but nothing seems to work. As Clark learns how to act around girls, the elementary student reader learns this important social skill. This book is a great classroom addition with its clever depiction of an underwater school. The illustrations are bold and enhance the story.

Overall Book Score: excellent
