Shark Wars

One legend. A thousand shivers. Only one shark will rule the ocean.

Since the dawn of time, shark clans called Shivers have ruled over the earth's oceans, protectors of all who swim. For eons, the Big Blue has prospered under Shiver Law, and the delicate balance of sea life kept sacred. Until now.

With the ocean on the brink of chaos, a young reef shark named Gray - exiled from the safety of his peaceful reef home - must venture deep into Open Water to unlock the secrets of his destiny...

The next great boys' adventure series - save your friends, rule the ocean.

Reviews

With colourful, bold-line illustrations, this is a charming story for age three and up

—— Mary Arrigan , Irish Examiner

The thickly inked illustrations surrounded by lots of white space have an uncluttered, simple look that is appropriate for young readers . . . A sweet tale

—— Martha Simpson , School Library Journal

Cleminson, selected as one of Booktrust's Best New Illustrators for her lovely, inky line, subtle sense of colour and child-friendly playfulness, has produced an ideal story for communicating the magic of reading

—— Nicolette Jones , The Sunday Times

Katie captured the judges' imagination with her dreamy illustrations

—— Guardian

There's something genially old-fashioned about it all. Otto endures hardship and adventure (including the brush-off he receives from a pair of alley cats) as he flees his old existence and finds new sources of companionship. In this case, the animal adrift ends up with fellow story characters as well as with human readers, who, as they will in real life too, want to keep Otto around

—— Pamela Paul , The New York Times

Katie's illustrations are full of space, gentle colour and apparent simplicity. She also has a real way with drawing animals - Otto is a very handsome bear, a bear that you'll want to hug and make space for on your bookshelves

—— Playing the Book

One of the funniest, and one of the most irreverant Christmas books out there. . . If you like your humour to be slightly scatological in nature, then The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will have children in fits of laughter (and a large amount of adults too). . . Brilliant!

—— Martine Horvath , EYE magazine

Beautifully illustrated, really funny and rather smelly

—— www.theschoolrun.com

An excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.

—— Simeon Elliott , Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies

Includes plenty of splendid, vocabulary-enhancing verbs such as "streaked", "tottered" and "padded".

—— Susan Elkin , Independent on Sunday

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words

—— Nursery Education

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale

—— Jane Doonan , School Library Association
