PreS-K–A light rhyme scheme scattered with a little cornball punning reminds a shark that it is loved when it is crabby, that it is invited to go explore, that “you shell always be by my side, and I’ll always be next to you.”

VERDICT With rough edges that give either a torn paper or pixelated effect, the art keeps up with the 14 lines of text.
