Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! This fun and simple board book about two sharks is a humorous study in opposites.

Big Shark has big teeth; Little Shark has little teeth. Big Shark swims fast; Little Shark swims slow. But they are both hungry! Will they each succeed in finding a tasty snack? Little Shark is hoping that he won't become fast food for Big Shark!

A sturdy board book with an easy-to-follow story pairs simple text with picture clues that will help children decode the story during a read-aloud!
ANNA MEMBRINO is an editor, writer, and ultimate Frisbee player. She is the author of I Want to Be a Ballerina. Anna lives in New York City.

TIM BUDGEN was born in Surrey, England, and is a freelance illustrator and art teacher. For much of his life he has been scribbling down ideas, and he can usually be found with a pencil in one hand and a sketchbook in the other! This is his first book for Random House. He lives on an island off the coast of England, and surely there are sharks in the waters there!
“The Step into Reading books are colorful and bright, with humorous illustrations that hold the interest of even our most primary students.” —Susan Banning, Assistant Principal
