In this delightful picture book, meet two sisters who may be little, but are brave and clever enough to defeat the hungry shark that crashes their tea party. Mama and Papa are away for the afternoon, so sisters Sadie and Flora decide to throw a fancy pretend tea party in their garden by the sea. When the girls are joined by a surprise guest -- an odd-looking fisherman who wolfs down their cake -- they quickly realize something is not quite right. Is that a silver fin on the fisherman's neck, beneath his bib? And are those double rows of sharp, sharp teeth in his mouth? This fishy guest -- is he... he must be... a shark!! Join this unstoppable sister duo as they summon all their strength and cleverness -- and a little bit of Flora's unique magic -- to vanquish the shark... all before Mama and Papa get home.
