I was really rubbed the wrong way by the ending。

LameOver-rated - story lacks interest for kids and has little point to it - wish I’d saved my money because it was expensive for a book with so few words

Read this one with my （seven year old） little brother the other day。 Well， he read it to me。 It was a little below his level， so it was a pretty easy read， but he likes sharks so we went for it。 It was cute， a short read。 I liked the animations and the story was simple， but it entertained him。

This was a decent book until the end。 I would have preferred they worked together to catch a fish and then split it instead of the little shark suddenly producing a net when the big shark was going to eat him。

this is a highly underrated book。 My daughter has been struggling to read on her own and her teacher suggested finding books that have a maximum of 2 new words per page to give her some confidence while reading。 This book has that。 it has some of their 'word wall words' （simple words like has， and， i， is， it etc。。。） and then some new words like big， little， fish， shark， hungry。 Its a great choice for an early reader。 this is a highly underrated book。 My daughter has been struggling to read on her own and her teacher suggested finding books that have a maximum of 2 new words per page to give her some confidence while reading。 This book has that。 it has some of their 'word wall words' （simple words like has， and， i， is， it etc。。。） and then some new words like big， little， fish， shark， hungry。 Its a great choice for an early reader。 。。。more

Love these Step 1 books。 They are great for your “little shark” in learning to read。 My little shark did a great job reading a lot of the words。 And he loved the sharks。

cute。。。butIts a good story because of comparisons， big， little， fast slow。 Except the story is based on fish eating each other。 Then big shark looks at little shark like little shark is a snack。 I don't care for that as a story line cute。。。butIts a good story because of comparisons， big， little， fast slow。 Except the story is based on fish eating each other。 Then big shark looks at little shark like little shark is a snack。 I don't care for that as a story line 。。。more

Great comparison book in an easy reader。

The text is appropriately repetitive and uses comparison words such as “fast” and “slow，” which help to solidify an understanding of opposites。 The digital illustrations are cartoonish and fun， featuring happy， non-threatening sharks， but the colors lack vibrancy， which might be a draw for a young reader。 That being said， sharks are a perennial favorite in the animal kingdom。 Children in kindergarten through second grade can practice their reading skills while enjoying this fun， fishy tale。

My youngest got this in the Barnes and Noble summer reading program。 It is a Step 1 book and my seven year old was able to read it without too much trouble。 The plot is pretty simple （as most decodable text books are） but the pictures are cute and give some context clues for the text。

In this title for young readers who are just embarking on their reading journey， two sharks show off their chops--or choppers。 One shark is quite big and the other one is small， and the two of them are hungry for a bite to eat。 However， neither one has much success in catching a fish until they decide to work together and they have more than enough food for both of them。 I'm not sure how scientifically accurate the book is since I don't know that sharks ever collaborate in gathering their meals， In this title for young readers who are just embarking on their reading journey， two sharks show off their chops--or choppers。 One shark is quite big and the other one is small， and the two of them are hungry for a bite to eat。 However， neither one has much success in catching a fish until they decide to work together and they have more than enough food for both of them。 I'm not sure how scientifically accurate the book is since I don't know that sharks ever collaborate in gathering their meals， but it could happen。 Youngsters will enjoy the humor and the growing threat to Little Shark since Big Shark clearly outweighs him。 But size isn't everything， of course。 This is a good title in the Step into Reading series that is intended to support emergent readers。 This one does just that in a fun way。 。。。more
