Big Shark, Little Shark, Baby Shark

Just when you thought it was safe...Big Shark and Little Shark return in this funny new Step 1 Reader, pursued by...Baby Shark!

Big Shark and Little Shark may be opposites, but they agree on one thing--neither wants to play with Baby Shark. Baby Shark is too small and slow to be any fun...right? What happens when Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark, Grandpa Shark, and Grandma Shark find out that Baby Shark is being snubbed? Dun dun dun dun dun dun! All's well that ends well in this easily decodable and oh-so-familiar story of big kids and little kids resolving their conflicts. The book conveys a great social-emotional lesson about apologizing and inclusion in a funny way! Look for these other funny stories: Big Shark, Little Shark and Big Shark, Little Shark Go to School.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
