Baby Shark! by Stevie Lewis - ADVISABLE

Baby Shark! by Stevie Lewis.  BOARD BOOK Henry Holt and Company, 2020. $9.  9781250263186  

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K – ADVISABLE  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE  

A little girl goes to the aquarium with her mother and asks if they will see a shark.  When the little girl sees a shark, she starts to sing the catchy “Baby Shark” song.  As other sharks join the baby shark, other kids join the little girl and sing all the parts to the song, including the baby, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa shark.  When the sharks start to chase the kids, they run back to their parents.  

If you have any little people in your life, you know this song is a big hit.  As cute as the song is, that is what makes this book appealing, not the illustrations.  The illustrations are simple, not unappealing, just nothing over the top special.  I think younger readers will go for this book because they want to have their parents sing the shark song to them.
