Shark in the park is a story about a boy named Timothy Pope who is testing out his new toy a telescope in the park. He looks up, he looks down, he looks right and then left with his telescope and then he thinks he sees a shark….is it a shark? Or is it something else?

As you re read the story encourage your child to join in with Timothy’s cry ‘There’s a shark in the park!’ Children will enjoy completing the rhymes in the story as well. Talk about the book Shark in the Park is the fun story of a boy playing in the park with his telescope. “He looks at the sky. He looks at the ground. He looks left and right. He looks all around. And this is what he sees….THERE’S A SHARK IN THE PARK!” Of course, there isn’t really a shark. Or is there?! This book has everything. Interesting rhyming prose, an engaging storyline and excellent illustrations. I particularly like the use of the cut-out shape to represent the telescope. There's a good dose of humour throughout this book. I can see why it has become a modern classic.

Apart from typical things you see in a park, this story is also good for prepositions and complete sentences with ‘There is / There are’. Best of all, it lends itself well to play and exploring the world around them. Myri likes the rhyming and he remembers the book from school. He loves playing with his blow up shark and drawing sharks. We printed off the rhyming game but Myri found it quite hard because he was trying to sound out all the words rather than listening to the rhymes.We'll have another go with the game but we've got some poetry books so we'll try reading more of those.'
