What would you do if you found a shark in the bath? Or three of them - Papa Shark, Mama Shark and Baby Shark? The sharks are keen on a hearty breakfast, but Dulcie knows just how to outwit such cheeky sea creatures and sends them packing before Dad even gets a glimpse. A smashing picture book treat from the illustrator of YOU CAN'T EAT A PRINCESS.
The inspiration for A Shark in the Tub was Sonya's daughter, Tara, who was terrified of getting into the bathtub after seeing the movie, "Jaws". She was in late grade school at the time. Tara's sister, Trish, and brother, Tyler, tormented her by humming the "Jaws" movie theme song! For about a week, Tara would not put her feet in the tub and insisted on straddling the tub sides when showering. She had frightening thoughts of sharks being in the water.
Written by noted early learning specialist Bill Gillham, How Many Sharks in the Bath? reflects the very latest in educational research and takes a fresh approach to teaching numbers from zero to ten. Packed with fun activities and clear, lively and colorful illustrations, this book is the perfect way to help children truly understand quantities rather than just reciting numbers in order and to recognize the spelling of each number. The books includes the number zero, an important and often ignored element in early numeracy and helps to familiarize children with taking numbers out of order and associating the word and numeral to the quantities on the page. Youngsters get to count how many penguins there are in the shower, how many ostriches are in a bed, and much more.
