      "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 —
