Dad There's a Hammerhead in the Shed by Rum Charles
is a captivating Children's book that features Vanessa, an adventurous and
imaginative character who lives with her father. When Vanessa discovers a Hammerhead
Shark in her dad's shed, she is stunned and wonders why it is there. She
discovers the shark is struggling to get a nail from its nose. She is excited
to help and she seeks assistance from her dad. Helping Hammerhead get the nail
out of its nose becomes an exercise that teaches her how to use an important
tool in her father's shed while building a new friendship with the sea
creature.
It is a quick read for Children and one of the strengths of
this book is the colorful illustrations. My five-year-old daughter read the
book to me and said it was fun. She loved the colors. But most of all it was
Vanessa's character that won her heart. Vanessa is depicted as an out-going
kid; she is talkative and adventurous. She likes to try things and is ready to help.
The relationship between the young girl and her father is built on trust. The
father tells her what to do and trusts that she can do it by herself. It is
interesting to see her try and fail to remove the nail from Hammerhead's nose:
''It won't budge.'' But by listening to her father and trying something
else, she eventually succeeds. This book is entertaining but it has a strong
lesson on friendship and learning for Children. Dad There's a Hammerhead in
the Shed is a perfect gift for Children who are book lovers.
