Snarky Sharky

A hilarious picture book for children ages 3-7 that's filled with quick wit, puns, and the antics of a brilliantly-snarky main character, Snarky Sharky.

While most of the fish in the ocean are small fry, Snarky Sharky rules. But life in his underwater home is starting to annoy him. He is convinced that the dolphins are chirpy “on porpoise” to get on his nerves...and that the sea stars are “always missing the point.” One day, he decides to leave the reef and strike out on his own. Will he find something bigger and better? Readers will giggle at Snarky Sharky’s quick wit, puns, and hilarious facial expressions, all the while absorbing the gentle lessons of learning to be humble and appreciating what you have.
