(4) 1-3 Shark School series. Illustrated by Aaron Blecha. Harry the hammerhead shark cries "wolf" (actually "great white shark") one too many times, which leads to ridicule, then real danger, and, finally, heroism. Breezy writing, lots of puns ("jellyfishion," "Drownton Abbey"), and some real shark facts get along swimmingly with the anthropomorphized marine characters. This illustrated chapter book (written by a collective of authors) is an enjoyable if formulaic read.
