Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 5, 2014
Junior Spider gets pulled from the back of his mother during a storm and finds himself blown across the ocean. He meets Sharky, a young shark who has met the same fate and convinces the shark to give him a ride back across the ocean. Sharky is a shark who fears being bullied by the other sharks and does not even know what family of sharks to which he belongs. Junior promises to tell him in return for that safe passage across the ocean. Will the two newfound allies succeed in their journey and find their families?The rhymes, while catchy and cute, are a bit awkward in places, probably due to the translation. Picture box illustrations are colorful enough for younger readers to follow the story. Children will learn the advantages of being self-confident and persistent.
