PreS-Gr 2–Big Shark and Little Shark are together again, and this time one of them has a loose tooth. After his tooth pops out, Big Shark saves it in a treasure chest with the rest of his beloved collection of teeth. When all of his lost teeth go missing from the treasure chest, Big Shark looks in an abandoned ship, by a swing, and under a stingray. Little Shark knows where the missing teeth are; after he reveals their location, Big Shark does something for him in return. This Level 1 Step into Reading book features short, concise sentences, and captures the many moods of Big Shark through contrasting illustrations. The story provides a brief lesson in opposites, as well as trivia for young shark-loving readers.
VERDICT This Level 1 book is perfect for emerging readers and will circulate well in primary libraries.
