Why Would A Shark Wear Tennis Shoes?

To sneak up the stairs, of course. And what would the shark do at the top of the stairs? Well, you'd have to read the book to find out.This thoroughly delightful story captures the attention of 4-7 year olds each year as I read it in Storytime. It clearly expresses the fears of Stephen, who has a tendency to exaggerate, and also doesn't want to go to bed in the dark. This imaginative tale ends on a highly satisfying note as Stephen uses his wit to solve his dilemma.
