Description

A clever little girl outsmarts a silly hungry shark in this rhyming underwater read-aloud romp--perfect for ages 3-7.

A clever little girl "with a net for catching pearls" meets a shark who wants nothing more than to eat her for dinner. Diving into these gorgeous pages, readers will find nothing short of a classic tale: a bully being shown up by his weaker and far more clever adversary! An ebullient and unabashedly entertaining read aloud, One Day at the Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea has enough bite to excite readers of all ages.

Delightful characters created by Brandon James Scott are perfectly matched to Daniel Bernstrom's rollicking tale of bravery, trickery and undersea adventure.
