PreS-Gr 1— In this festive adventure, the contrasting duo of Big Shark and Little Shark navigate the challenges of decorating a Christmas tree underwater. While reading, they discover a Christmas tree at the bottom of the ocean, but some of its pretty decorations have fallen off. The themes of working together and patience are subtly explored while Big Shark and Little Shark ask their friends to help decorate the tree. Once the tree is done, they realize they are missing a tree topper. "Will anyone come to live at the top of the tree?"

The storyline is simple yet engaging—perfect for young readers who are just beginning to explore books independently.
