The Snappy Shark

About this book

Snap! Mark the shark loves playing games with his friends. But when things don’t go his way, he can snap. He complains he wasn’t ready, or that it was someone else’s fault. Raff the ray tells him to be nicer or no one will play with him. And after a bit of quiet time, Mark realises that he upset his friends. Can they ever forgive him? 

A funny rhyming story about feelings and behaviour. Sharing this story with a young child will reassure them that big emotions are normal. Everyone has a bad day now and then, but it’s how you deal with it that counts. Mark learns not to take things out on his friends – and that they do  need him in some situations.  

The rhyme makes this fun to read aloud, and the bright illustrations give lots of character to the fish friends.
