Synopsis

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, which 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.
