Shark in the Park!
By Nick Sharratt
The Story
A little boy takes his brand new telescope to the park and keeps spotting something that looks exactly like a shark fin — but each time, turning the page reveals a surprise.
Why It's Special
For the kid who can't resist peeking around corners or guessing what's hidden, this one turns every page-turn into its own small thrill.
- Big idea: Looking closely changes what you see — first guesses aren't always the whole picture.
- Vibes: Playful, curious, and full of anticipation, with a running joke that rewards a second look.
Perfect For Kids Who
- love guessing games
- like to peek through die-cut holes and shapes
- are working on looking closely before jumping to conclusions
- enjoy repeating page-turn surprises
