In the great tradition of The Wonky Donkey, Hank the Wrestling Shark is a humorous, story / song about… wrestling a shark. As you do! In this rhyming story, a boy takes on a wrestling shark and beats the odds to defeat the shark (I won’t tell you how but your kids will love it). The book is quirky and silly and my three year old loves looking at the great cartoon pictures of the shark.
The song is instantly sing-along-able and my girl has the best time chanting dum-dum dum-dum dum-dum-dum-dum…
Hank the Wrestling Shark is written by Gerry Paul, an Irish-man now living in New Zealand. He’s best known as a musician and the book comes with a three song cd including title song Hank the Wrestling Shark, which was awarded the 2010 Grand Prize in the prestigious international ‘John Lennon Songwriting Contest’; a coveted award among songwriters.
