"A recommended story that helps young readers learn how to be a good friend."(School Library Journal)

Featuring bold illustrations by Guy Francis and lively easy-to-read text by Bruce Hale, this Level Two I Can Read will have beginning readers ready to take a bite out of reading! Perfect for social emotional learning.

Clark the Shark is super excited about the drawing contest. The winner gets Captain Suckermouth comics, signed by Captain Suckermouth! When Clark asks Joey Mackerel for help, his excitement gets the best of him and he doesn’t listen to his friend. Joey is sad because his pet catfish died. Will Clark be able to truly listen and put his friend first?

Clark the Shark has been embraced in the elementary school classroom and at home. Kids laugh at his antics, and they also relate to the young shark who always means well but can get himself into scrapes due to his overabundance of energy.

This is the first Level Two I Can Read for Clark the Shark. Level Two I Can Read books are geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—This Level 2 beginning reader book stresses the importance of listening to your friends. Clark the Shark and Joey the Mackerel are best friends, but when Clark becomes excited about winning a drawing contest, he doesn't notice that his friend is in no mood to help. They end up quarreling, and Joey tells Clark to go away. Clark has no clue what is bothering Joey, until Amanda Eelwiggle informs him that Joey's pet catfish died. Amanda challenges Clark to really think about what it means to be a friend. Her exhortations initially boggle Clark's mind, but eventually Clark creates a rhyme to help him remember all the essential steps: "Listen closely, treat them kind, be there for them, rain or shine. Stick with them until the end, that's the way to be a friend!" Clark realizes in a flash that he should make a sympathy card for his friend. Joey loves the card, and the two friends are able to work together and win the contest. The text is appropriate for beginning readers, and the illustrations are fun, with the anthropomorphic creatures and the blending of sea details, such as corals and sponges growing in what appear to be garden beds, with ordinary human details like houses and clothes that are only found above the ocean. VERDICT A recommended story that helps young readers learn how to be a good friend.—Sally James

Edgar-nominated author Bruce Hale is passionate about inspiring reluctant readers to read. He has written or illustrated more than 60 seriously funny books for children, including the popular Chet Gecko Mysteries series, Clark the Shark, and the Monstertown Mysteries series, as well as picture books like "Snoring Beauty" and "Big Bad Baby."

An actor and Fulbright Scholar in Storytelling, Bruce is in demand as a speaker, having presented at conferences, universities, and schools both nationally and internationally - from the Maui Writers Conference to British Columbia's Surrey International Writers Conference and International Schools around the globe. His acting resume includes regional commercials, theater, and an independent film, The Ride. Bruce's book, "The Malted Falcon," was an Edgar Award Finalist. "Murder, My Tweet" won the Little D Award for Humor Writing.

When he was a kid, Bruce knew exactly what he wanted to be: Daniel Boone. However, somewhere along the way, the right books and the right teachers encouraged him to try following his love of story in a different direction. He is eternally grateful to those who helped him along the path.

A little-known fact: Bruce loves jazz, and sings with a latin jazz group called Mezcal Martini in Santa Barbara
