"A misunderstood deep-sea dweller gets its moment in the sun in this tongue-in-cheek informational picture book...Olien pulls off the humor and the positive friendship message without a hitch, while also whetting the appetites of young readers to find out more about Earth's most mysterious frontier." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
"Delivers big laughs." -- Publishers Weekly
Praise for SHARK DETECTIVE: "Delightful...the story is strangely inspirational...Many readers will demand further adventures-or imagine them for themselves." -- Kirkus Reviews
Praise for SHARK DETECTIVE: "Nothing slows the determination of chip-munching Shark in this lively romp through the mean streets. He's one cool sleuth." -- School Library Journal
Praise for SHARK DETECTIVE: "Shark is an endearing goofball worth rooting for." -- Publishers Weekly
