SHARK IN THE PARK ON A WINDY DAY!
by Nick Sharratt
Timothy Pope is back, and this time the windy weather is making his telescope work harder than ever. As he scans the park, he spots what looks suspiciously like a shark fin, but the gusts of wind have a funny way of making things look like something they are not. The story plays out with a clever, rhythmic cadence that makes it a delight to read aloud to a wiggly toddler. It is a gentle, funny exploration of perspective, teaching kids that what we see depends on how we look at it. The vibrant, bold illustrations turn every page turn into a little game of discovery. This is the perfect pick for parents who want a book that encourages participation and laughs, rather than a quiet bedtime story. It is simple, silly, and entirely charming.
