本書作者Peter Bently畢業于牛津大學語言專業，他經常拜訪英國的學校，并和他們交流寫作經驗。本書是他的第一部繪本作品，他曾居住在海邊，因此得到靈感。
貪婪的大鯊魚隱藏在黑暗之中，它很饑餓并且在到處覓食，那些慌亂的魚會成為它的腹中餐嗎？還是會給貪婪的鯊魚一個教訓呢？我們一起來一次深海大冒險吧。

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1—The best part of this book is the cover, which has a cutout resembling sharp teeth through which readers can see a hungry shark surrounded by frightened fish. In rhyming text, children learn about the creature that just ate but wants more, the "shark in the dark." Many kinds of fish are highlighted as they see their potential attacker. While they are escaping, they chance upon a friendly squid that comes up with a plan to make sure that the shark never eats in their neighborhood again. The last page shows an illustration of all the fish forming a whale, and the text states that working together is the best way to solve a problem. Young children will probably love looking at the appealing cartoons, and the text will pull them right into the story. However, Lio Lionni's classic Swimmy (Knopf, 1963) tells the same story.—Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City END
