About the Book
When Fang the shark is invited by his friends to attend Mini Minnows Elementary, he thinks it's a great idea! But then his first day of school arrives . . . and suddenly, he's not so sure. He's not very good at reading or math. He doesn't exactly fit in with his classmates. And the teacher looks crabby! Can Fang's best friend, Nugget, and the other minnows turn things around and prove to him that school really is fang-tastic?
This reassuring first-day-of-school and friendship story is full of heart and humor, showing that everyone feels like a fish out of water sometimes, and that it's important to be a good friend.

"Sauer and Slack keep up the laughs, and the reassurance."—The New York Times Book Review "[B]right and colorful. Slack deftly portrays Fang's every emotion….Readers will no doubt feel empathetic."—Kirkus Praise for Nugget and Fang "Incorporate this into fish- or shark-themed storytimes or share with "Finding Nemo" fans—either way, kids are likely to snap it up hook, line, and sinker."—BCCB "It's darn near impossible to resist such an earnest, toothy hero."—Kirkus "Sauer creates kindly characters and hits sweetly humorous notes throughout. . . . [a] funny friendship tale."—PW "Sends a positive message about the power of friendship and the importance of individuality."—School Library Journal —
