PreS-Gr 1–In this festive adventure, the contrasting duo of Big Shark and Little Shark navigate the challenges of decorating a Christmas tree underwater. While reading, they discover a Christmas tree at the bottom of the ocean, but some of its pretty decorations have fallen off. The themes of working together and patience are subtly explored while Big Shark and Little Shark ask their friends to help decorate the tree. Once the tree is done, they realize they are missing a tree topper. “Will anyone come to live at the top of the tree?” Vibrant illustrations bring the aquatic holiday cheer to life, capturing the playful spirit and friendship of the characters. The storyline is simple yet engaging—perfect for young readers who are just beginning to explore books independently. Overall, this is a charming holiday read with popular characters that will be a hit during the Christmas season.
VERDICT A wonderful addition to holiday collections and where Anna Membrino books are popular.
