A clever little girl outsmarts a silly hungry shark in this richly illustrated, rhyming, underwater read-aloud romp--perfect for ages 3-7.
This long awaited follow-up to One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, by Daniel Bernstrom and Brendan Wenzel, was praised by luminaries, including Jacqueline Woodson and Julius Lester.
An underwater trickster tale jumps off the pages of this rhyming picture book romp. 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.
"Excuse me," said the shark, showing off his many teeth.
"Would it trouble you to join me as my dinner on the reef?"
"Don't be hasty, Mister Shark. Rather, let us make a deal."
"I will find you something tasty. If I can't, I'll be your meal."
Delightful characters created by Brandon James Scott (A Bear, a Bee, and a Honey Tree) are perfectly matched to Daniel Bernstrom's rollicking tale of bravery, trickery and undersea adventure! A perfect follow up to One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree.
