Overview:
This 4-book collection set brings together Nick Sharratt’s popular Shark in the Park series in paperback format. Designed for children aged 3–7, the set follows Timothy Pope as he peers through his telescope and spots what might be a shark in unexpected places. Each story uses die-cut holes that let young readers peep ahead and guess what comes next. The playful repetition and bright illustrations make these books ideal for shared reading at bedtime or in the classroom. Parents and teachers appreciate the simple suspense that keeps little ones engaged without being frightening.

About the Books:
In Shark in the Park! Timothy tests his new telescope and wonders whether a fin in the distance belongs to a shark. The die-cut pages invite children to look through and discover the truth for themselves. Shark in the Park on a Windy Day! moves the action to a blustery afternoon where Timothy struggles with his umbrella while trying to spot the elusive shape. Shark in the Park in the Dark! shifts to nighttime, turning ordinary shadows into possible shark sightings under the stars. Oh No! Shark in the Snow! places Timothy in a quiet winter scene where falling snowflakes frame another telescope view. Across all four stories the pattern stays consistent: rhythmic text, a single peephole per spread, and a gentle reveal that reassures rather than scares. The format encourages prediction skills and repeated readings, while the limited color palette and bold shapes hold attention for preschool listeners. Together the books create a gentle progression from day to night to weather changes, giving parents a ready-made sequence for daily story time.

• Short, rhythmic text supports emerging readers aged 3–7
