Horn Book Review

Boy shark Harry Hammer thinks that by befriending a tiger shark at Sea-cub Camp, he can become a supreme sharklete like his idol, Turbo Tex, an Underwater Olimpet gold medalwinning tiger shark. Per this series' predictable formula, a swimming pace, sound effects, (tons of) sea puns, and cartoony black-and-white illustrations make for good fun. Character profiles and shark facts are appended. (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
