A fun book about one's fears and how they don't always make sense. ( )

I really, really love this shark. An excellent read-aloud story about being scared told by an irrepressible shark. The shark is nine kinds of awesome, PLUS there's a giant squid. How can you go wrong? ( )

This is about a shark and how he isn't afraid of anything except for spiders. This would be a good story to read to teach students that it's okay to be scared of something.

The cutest little story of a shark that 'isn't afraid of anything' but really, he's so afraid he's just trying to be touch. It touches on issues of pride but also the ability to stand up for yourself and walk yourself through fear instead of being taken over by it. Such a great story, I want to own this book. ( )

Shark is a shark (duh!) who thinks he's pretty great because he's not afraid of anything. He's strong and independent and brave - except when it comes to spiders. He's deathly afraid of spiders. But he'll probably deny it.
