I read this from audiobook that read by Chris Pine, and it was wonderful (also it's an excuse to say that how he read this book was super expressive and I love it). As a children book, it's still entertaining and funny. But it also want to tell the children to be their own person. No matter how different the situations they faced, they must adapt in the most comfortable way.
Anyway, I supposed to put this on my children literature report for my reading class. But unfortunately, my lecturer don't allowed us to use audiobooks as the source for the report, which is a shame. But alas, I'm still glad to read this book!

Clark the Shark is a bit too energetic for school. Then he learns to behave by creating rhymes to remember how to behave in various circumstances.

Don't quite get the point of this book (is it to teach kids to behave better), nor am I certain if they are trying to portray ADHD, an interesting premise and it has its uses but its personally not for me.

Clark is a little TOO Much sometimes but when he learns to be a little more considerate with the help with some rhymes he enjoys life even more.

I think students (maybe my students with ADHD?!) will be able to relate to Clark. I like that he comes up with his own system to self-regulate, and he sticks to it! I also like that it's said that sometimes he just has to be himself. Also shows that one person's (or shark's!) actions can affect others. Definitely will share with my students.
