Shark in the Park!
(23 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Random House
But wait it's only a cat. He looks again and there's another shark! Phew, only a crow, and the next time, it's just his dad. But as he sets off for home, is he really sure it's a shark-free park?
Some of the fun of this book lies in the sheer incongruity of spotting a shark in this spick-and-span, candy-bright park full of smiling people. Part of the fun comes from joining in with words and actions every time Timothy raises his telescope, then there's clever visual trickery with the sinister dark fin!
A hugely entertaining reworking of the boy who cried wolf or was that shark really there all along?

My twin boys know this book so well. We first came across it at a literacy work shop at nursery. Now this book is all they talk about. Well worth getting for pre-school children.

We have borrowed this book from our local library it is on constant renew at the moment as it is a true favourite of my sons. He loves this book at any time in the day and at just over 2 and a half (32mths) He loves the repeated phrases in the book helping him 2 join in with the parts that he has remembered when sharing together or alone. We are awaiting Shark in the dark which is in our reserved list and I just know he will love this the same. I also got very excited this evening when I r...

Both my daughter and me love this book. We first read this in our local library and loved it so much that we bought the book. We do actions for when Timothy looks left, right and all around with his telescope. My daughter also shouts "there's a shark in the park ". A fun book for children of all ages.
