Shark Dog: Half Shark- Half Dog joins the class on a nature field trip, and he brings excitement with him. Everyone finds a discovery to share with the class. But the class discovers very large footprints, and Shark Dog leads them to what the footprints match up with. There is never a dull moment when Shark Dog is around.

My nephew found this story amusing because of Shark Dog doing what he pleased and getting into messes.

Adamson Assignment #9
Shark-Dog #2
Just when you thought it was safe to go to the book shelf - Shark-Dog returns!
Anyway I wasn't a huge fan of the first one and this pretty much the same, young readers may really enjoy it but for me it was pretty average.

This is a sweet book about a shark-dog who accompanies a class of children to the woods. You can find lots of useful things to discuss about nature by reading the book!

They missed the opportunity to make the dog more shark-like in the pond. Basically it was just a book about a dog that had a different body shape.

Cute and silly storyline. Children will find this humorous with it's unique character. I think the character of the bear cub should have been substituted with another animal as bear cubs are dangerous due to their mothers.
Cartoonish and charming illustrations.

Cute book, but pictures are probably too small for storytime.
