About The Shark In The Park
Product Description The Shark in the Park by Mark Watson and Pablo Michau "Highly original, imaginative and thrilling." "The best illustrated children's book of 2014, hands down." "An old, old monster in a supposedly safe environment, one familiar to all. A walk in the park will never be the same again." "A hit! A brave and brilliant hit! An immediate children's classic." The air is misty, bright and cool, the morning Michael walks to school. At the boundary of the park he waits, nervously he hesitates. The day warms up, the sun shines down and Mike walks on, into town. Gnarly branches, crook and tight, curl around the ghostly light. Suddenly he freezes, weak at the knees, what is that swimming beneath the trees? Terrifying, funny, thrilling! This new, beautifully illustrated children's book is available in paperback and digital versions. The Kindle version includes links to exclusive interactive content.

Review The Shark in the Park by Mark Watson is a cute little story which will tickle the creative and imaginative minds of all small kids. Michael is walking to school one day when he sees something swimming beneath the trees. It looks like a shark; blue above, white beneath, and with a huge fin. Michael cannot believe his eyes. He runs as the shark chases him. The shark eats his homework and Michael misses his school bus. Michael decides to catch the shark and he goes with his dad's helmet and fishing pole to the park.Will Michael be able to catch the shark? The story is adorable and the way Michael tries to catch the big shark every day is exciting to read. The book has a very good message of how to confront one's own fears and overcome them in the best possible way. The ending is really cute and unusual and the illustrations complement the story, the scenes and the characters very well. The illustrations also help in giving pace and movement to the story. The rhyme scheme makes it even better and more enjoyable for kids while reading out loud. The story line is great and the thought of seeing a shark in a park is very imaginative and original. The book makes a good bedtime storybook and both grandparents and parents can read it out to their grandkids and kids. The book also makes a good story for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. Reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Shark in the Park" by Mark Watson. 4 out of 4 stars Review by anonanemone Share This ReviewThe Shark in the Park is a children's book with a unique and thrilling blend of the imagination and the realistic authored by Mark Watson and illustrated by PabloMichau.

He barely avoids being eaten by the shark alongside his bookbag and the story carries on from there. Despite the theme and the Jaws like great white shark, I did not find the book to be too scary for young children. The entire story is also written in short, but entertaining, rhyming verses.

I also appreciated that the professional quality of the illustrations in this book. The dynamic graphics are perfectly in tune with the story. Michael and the shark seem to be in constant motion. The first half of the test audience, my five year old son, loves The Shark in the Park and was thrilled by the every bit of the story. When asked what he likes about the book he has two answers.
