Benny the bull shark is a big bully. Every day he makes the other sea creatures tremble and shake with his bossy ways. Benny even tries to bully his way to friendship-but no one wants to be friends with a bully! Then Janice the jellyfish tells Benny about Friend School, where he can learn the rules of friendship. He decides to try it out. Friend School is harder than it looks, though, especially for a bully like him! Will Benny finally learn what it takes to be a true friend?

Reviews
"Benny Shark's antics will provide an interesting, if slightly on the nose, way to teach young children about classroom social expectations. A strong choice for most picture book collections." -School Library Journal "Readers who come on strong like Benny may take Reed's (Fireman Fred) light friendship lessons to heart, but it's the shark's bad behavior, captured in Montijo's (the Gum Girl series) bold and thickly outlined cartoons, that makes the biggest impact." -Publishers Weekly
