Smiley Shark (Tiger Tales)

Book Description

Far away in the deep rolling ocean lived Smiley Shark. Smiley Shark longed to dip and dive, jiggle and jive, dart and dash with a splish and a splash with all the other fish; but whenever he smiled at them they swam away. But when all of the other fish are trapped in a fisherman’s net, it’s up to Smiley Shark to find away to free them—and he saves the day with his big, toothy smile!

I think I like this more than my child does!.......2007-05-19

I absolutely love this book. It has become my favorite to read to my sea-life obsessed [...] out of the many books we have. The story is adorable, the illustrations are wonderful and overall it is definitely 5 stars in our book.

Good for calming fears.......2007-01-16

I bought this book for my 4 year old son. He used to loves sharks, but a few months ago developed a strong fear of them. For a month straight, he was afraid to go to bed because he said he got "bad nightmares" about sharks. He would toss and turn and cry out in his sleep, so I know that he wasn't just trying to stay up later. As soon as I read the description for Smiley Shark, I thought it sounded perfect.

I am happy to report that he loves the book and was willing to believe that the shark was just smiling and not scary. The illustrations are bright and cheerful; he loves the expressions on the various sea creature's faces.

Great preschool read.......2005-02-18

My preschoolers love this book. Smiley shark is a great book for learning about the ocean or talking about teeth or just having fun reading. The story line is simple. All the creatures are scared of Smiley Shark until one day he saves them from a fisherman's net and they all become his friend. the Story is wrote very nicely and the art work is wonderful. I have read this book several time to the children and they often will ask to read it again. Another great book is "Shark Trouble," About two monkeys trapped on small seperate islands with sharks swimming around the islands. All the kids love the shark books.

Sharky's book review.......2003-12-08

This is a great book for children to read or for parents to read to their children. This book installs a mentality into a childs thoughts that no matter what others think or say or do, you can alwayus be a good person and help others. It also means that what you think is a handicapp now could help you or your friends later on down the road. This is a great book for begining readers or for parents just reading to their children.

Great Book.......2003-11-28

Our 2.5 yr old son has a love/hate relationship with sharks. Loves them, but is also scared of them. I got him this book to help him overcome his fear of sharks (they always seem to be in his closet or under his bed at night - thank goodness our dog can sleep in his room & "eat" the sharks).

We've had the book less than 24 hours & we've read it to him at least 6 times already. He thought it was sad that the others would not play with him. Now he just loves sharks.

It's a very bright & colourful book that also names a few of the fish. It's great considering our son also loves watching Finding Nemo.

A little disappointing.......2003-12-08

I really don't get why Don Wade is regarded as golf's master story teller. For a man with as much experience as him I would have thought he'd have a few juicier stories to offer than the rather lame anecdotes printed here. Most of the time I turned a page eager to discover how the story ended only to find that it already had.

Don Wade does it again!.......1999-09-27

I don't know how he does it, but Wade consistently gets the best stories from the best golfers. And it's not just the big names or seniors players - he's got Se Ri Pak and Tiger Woods as well as Norman, Nicklaus and Ballesteros. Another great read.

Book Description

This true story of one of the world's great unsolved murder cases begins one quiet day in Australia in 1935 when a giant Tiger shark, on display in the Coogee public baths, coughs up a tattooed arm. What follows is a spellbinding tale of detection set in the 1930s Sydney underworld. Sixty years later, author Alex Castles, a professor of law and a graduate of the University of Chicago, thinks he might know the solution to a riddle that has baffled police and scientists for decades.

Crime and Coincidence.......2000-12-31

I bought this book at the Police and Justice Museum in Sydney, Australia and it's a doozy! Let me just say that the writing's not great, as the author's a law professor, and he's a plodding sort. But the story is truly unblievable: an infamous murder is solved because a shark that's caught for an aquarium gets sick and barfs up the tatooed arm of a murder victim who was dismembered and dumped in the ocean. Even the ocean sometimes tells...

Excellent resource for landscape designers and landscape architects.......2007-02-17

This book should definitely be on the shelf of anyone who designs landscapes unless you have already mastered all there is to know about plan graphics. The first edition of this book was very good, but the second edition is even better. The only reason I gave it a raing of four stars rather than five is that it contains only a very brief section about color rendering, a topic that deserves much more attention than Bertauski gives it. But it's still a great book even with that imperfection.

Perfect building blocks for landscape plan graphics.......2006-06-21

We used this book in Landscape Design at my college. It is an essential tool for the basics of plan graphics and design layout. It focuses on keeping the design clean and professional. I STRONGLY recommend this book to any first year Landscape Design student, or any professional who needs a good reference tool.

Even better than the Excelent first edition.......2006-04-30

This book doesnt' fail in maintain its focus on very practical aproach of the subject. It adopts a direct and easy to follow language and tips: Doesn't pretend to be artificially academic, intends strongly to help the beginners on their careers as the veterans too. Would be obvious that all books dealing with the same subject should present top quality on editorial design, but in many cases it's not true. This book, instead, cares a lot about its graphic presentation. The 2nd edition shows even better layout and more useful photos and drawings than those already great found on the previous edition. Covering decently the computer aplications on landscape renderings, it counts 264 pages: almost double comparing to the competing books and it's clearly cheaper, available at a fair price. My favourite in Landscape rendering field.

Even tough a good book for a person how is looking the get in the stage of learning the process of drawing.

I too only wish I had gotten book sooner.......2004-10-26

This book is great. I am a junior landscape architecture major, and my introductory classes skipped over the important basic details. Even though I've caught onto the basic skills over time, this book is a great reference and I'm still finding new things. This book is very easy to follow and a has a few pages of colored pages so that you can see his marker and colored pencil examples. I would most definitely recommend this book!!

Great Book!.......2004-05-31

Great book, this guy knows what he's talking about.

Great design graphics. Great information. All in one easy to read text.

Rock on Tony.
