	Shark vs. Train Chris Barton (2010) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Early Literacy: Narrative Skills Early Literacy: Vocabulary Friendship Humor New Books Things That Go (Cars, Trucks, Planes)
Request this book from the Library Do you ever wonder what would happen if your favorite toys got into a contest? This great story pits one boy's shark against his best friend's train. Who's better at eating pies or shooting baskets? Who will win? Lichtenheld's illustrations are a funny accompaniment to an even funnier query. Librarian review written by Kristi Who is better, shark or train? It depends on what they're doing, and where. Shark wins the pie eating contest, but train can roast a marshmallow better than anyone! Train is more popular at the carnival, but shark is more graceful going off the high dive. Join shark and train for a reminder that not everyone is good at everything, and some things are hard to be good at at all (sword fighting on a tightrope, anyone?). This book will delight anyone, even if they don't have a competitive spirit! Librarian review written by Becker Read more Kids' Reviews of this book
