This crafty interactive picture book is 100% bliss and very
toothsome indeed . . . The very young will enjoy all the changes of
perspective and the jokes . . . A book that will have them
squealing with delight * Guardian *
The hole in the page in Shark in the Park is the best use of
this apparently simple device since PEEPO! by Janet and
Allan Ahlberg. Sharratt's upbeat illustrations and rhyming,
rhthymical text . . . Simple and satisfying, with audience
participation guaranteed * Financial Times *
Sharratt's use of die-cut components is very clever. The bold
cartoon illustrations use a two-dimensional plane that perfectly
accentuates critical aspects of the images. Contains the kind of
humour that pre-schoolers find so very funny . . . jolly good fun *
Books for Keeps *
"Bliss!", will be the reaction from Sharratt's many young fans: 15
pages of crisp design, nifty cut-outs, visual thrills and a pacy
tale of what a little boy sees through his telescope * Independent
on Sunday *
Shark in the Park is an unequivocal success . . . the book
is infused with a rather exhilarating sense of wonder and
encouragement to explore new ways of looking at the world *
