Misunderstood Shark




MISUNDERSTOOD SHARK
Written by Ame Dyckman, illustrated by Scott Magoon

During a live broadcast of “Underwater World with Bob,” a series of incidents with Shark create some hilarious misunderstandings and uncertainty. Is Shark truly as innocent as he claims? Scott Magoon’s illustrations are a perfect match for this laugh-out-loud picture book. With permission from Scholastic Publishing, Ms. Russell will read aloud this book including a short visit from her cat, Midnight. What a silly kitty!


Big Ideas and Enduring Understanding:

People misunderstand and mistrust sharks. I wonder how you feel about them.

Overarching Question:
Why do people not trust sharks?

If you can, please tell me about your favorite shark or make a comment about the book!
