Every storytime puppet collection needs a good villain or two, and this shark fills the role perfectly. It's just scary enough to give the kiddos a bit of a thrill, but still pretty soft and squishy so they can also give it a good snuggle. The size is great for groups, and even though the fit is a bit snug for my hand, it has not presented any problems in slipping it on and off quickly. I haven't had this puppet for very long, but he's proven to be very popular with the storytime crowd as he comes swimming out of my puppet box. He has survived lots of little hands so far, and I look forward to using him for years to come.

This puppet is cute and inexpensive. It looks much better than the pictures. My 4 year old son LOVES sharks and this is was the topper for his birthday! He LOVED it! Wonderful toy and very realistic. Would highly recommend this puppet.
