Editorial Reviews

Review

“Young readers will be easily won over by the plump, eager, stubby-limbed pup...” — Booklist

“A hilarious selection that’s sure to please a picture book crowd, particularly one composed of children fascinated by dogs, sharks, or both.” — School Library Journal

“The absurd notion of a semi-canine, semi-aquatic pet, complete with long, slobbery tongue and pointy, daggerlike teeth, will delight young readers who love land and sea creatures.” — School Library Journal

“Fans of Eric Carle’s The Mixed-Up Chameleon will enjoy this rollicking, goofy, wholly unconventional picture book.” — School Library Journal

From the Back Cover

It’s a shark! No, wait, it’s a dog! It’s Shark Dog!

Shark Dog is no ordinary pet. Sometimes when he does dog things, he’s more like a shark. And sometimes when he does shark things, he’s more like a dog.

But when Shark Dog gets homesick, he starts thinking maybe he belongs with the other shark dogs. Will he go back to Shark Dog Island or decide to stay in his new home?

This is a great book. Fun story, good unique character. Nice artwork. The story makes a nice read aloud as well as a lap book. My 6 year old shark lover thought it was great and I have to agree with him. Some funny humor. Highly recommend.

The show has a pretty good theme overall.
The characters speak improperly using the word ain't.
One character said, "I'm not scared of nothing", double negative-drives me crazy.
I'm trying to teach my grandson to speak properly.
Other than that-cute show🙂

A very unique story about a very unique pup... um, shark? Dog shark?
SHARK DOG!!!

Oh my, my boys and I continue to have so much fun with this book - every time they spot Shark Dog they literally have to point him out and exclaim that they found him, and then the giggles ensue uncontrollably...

While a boy and his dad are traveling and find a strange island to explore, the boy cannot help but feel that they are being followed. On their voyage home, he finds one of the island's unusual animals - a half dog and half shark. "He seemed friendly enough", so they decided to keep him and Shark Dog quickly becomes a beloved pet who captures the hearts of most everyone around him. Even when he creates a bit of confusion and chaos out in public before everyone realizes that he is just a friendly animal like most other pets... even when sometimes he did shark things, he was more like a dog, and vice versa. But no matter what, Shark Dog was always happy.

So when Shark Dog becomes homesick, his new family does everything they can to make him feel better and decide to take him back his "real" home. Shark Dog is happy again... until the boy and his dad has to say goodbye. Will Shark Dog stay with his family, or go home with his new family?

A wonderful take on the unique relationships between pets and their humans!

Shark Dog is a HUGE favorite around here! My son loves dogs and my nephew loves sharks (and most things about the ocean) and this was the perfect book for them to enjoy together - lots of giggles and turning back the pages to make sure that they didn't miss any details in the fun and brightly colored illustrations! (Ged Adamson's style is one of our favorites!)

We recommend this book to all ages - to all the ones who love to laugh out loud and feed their imaginations!
