Clark is a shark withzing,bang, andBOOM. Clark zooms into school, crashes through the classroom, and is rowdy at recess. Clark loves life and always means well–but when his enthusiasm is too much for his friends, Clark’s teacher, Mrs. Inkydink, helps him figure out a way to tone it down.

Clark the Sharkis a great read-aloud picture book, with fun rhythm and rhyme, from the ever-popular Bruce Hale and Guy Francis. Kids love the energy and humor and ask for repeated readings. At the same time, they get the background message about how to work on impulse control.
