PreS-Gr 1—Flip and Fin are twin sand sharks. After watching their favorite cartoon, in which Sammy Saw Shark and Harry Hammerhead catch bad guys and save the day, Flip and Fin decide to become superheroes and find someone to help. As they zip and flip through the waters with their friends, an octopus and an anglerfish, they suddenly discover a beach ball that belongs to humans. This is their opportunity to become heroes by returning the ball. However, as they approach the resort, the onlookers panic and dash for the beach. Flip and Fin think the humans are afraid of the ball and pop it, sending it far out to sea. As the friends leave, the humans cheer. Flip and Fin are convinced that they have saved the day. "Faster than a sailfish! Tougher than a clamshell! Super Sharks to the rescue!" Cartoon-style watercolor illustrations and witty text will engage readers and have them rooting for the heroes. Gill has also appended a handy "Did You Know…" page about sand sharks.
VERDICT The good-natured, goofy humor mixed with the bright watercolors will have young ones giggling. Perfect for seasonal storytimes and superhero fans.
