The Duck That Cried Shark is about a family of ducks. Anaia, a little duck, is afraid of the water and the scary things it might contain. She starts to imagine things in the water, and she screams "SHARK!" every time she goes swimming. It happens so often that her family no longer believes her cries. One day, Anaia really does see a shark! Named Wendell, the shark is very friendly-not at all mean. Young readers ages four through eight will enjoy following along in The Duck That Cried Shark as Anaia and Wendell become good friends.
