Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the park . . .
Timothy Pope is blown this way and that way in the windy park -- but among the whistling wind and blustering brollies could that be a shark he spies through his telescope. Peep through the die-cut hole in the pages of the book to find out.
A third book in the bestselling Shark in the Park series -- it's fin-tastic fun!
