Overview

In the deep ocean, tiny Nugget and big, toothy Fang get along swimmingly--until Nugget's first day of minnow school. There Nugget learns that minnows are supposed to be afraid of sharks! To regain Nugget's trust, Fang takes desperate (and hilarious) measures. But it's not until his big sharp teeth save the entire school that, minnows learn that this shark is no foe. Fantastically stylized artwork adds even more humor to this undersea story of unlikely friendship.

Die Monographie, die man als Musterbeispiel einer Interpretation bezeichnen kann, bringt nach einer gut orientierenden Einleitung einen ausfuhrlichen Kommentar zum Text selbst. Dieser beeindruckt durch eine kaum zu ubertreffende Fulle von sprachlichen und inhaltlichen Verweisen, die von der Grundlichkeit und Belesenheit des Verfassers Auskunft geben. [...] wird man das Buch als ausgezeichnete sprachliche und religionsgeschichtliche Fundgrube verwenden konnen. A. Fuchs in: Studien zum Neuen Testament und seiner Umwelt 30/2005 Le Testament d'Abraham est un livre meconnu, qui merite d'etre lu pour son originalite, et en particulier son approche desacralisante et humoristique des personnages bibliques. Le commentaire de Dale Allison permettra a ceux qui veulent l'etudier d'en saisir toute la richesse et l'interet. Recherches des Sciences Religieuses 4/2005 It is an important work for understanding first century CE (and later) Judaism. [...] It is my hope that this work will not only appear on the shelves of any responsible theological library but also that biblical scholars and pastors [...] will add it to their own personal libraries. Peter H. Davids in: Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 1/2005

[a] funny friendship tale. --Publishers Weekly The text's cadence is well-timed for sharing aloud, and both narrative and illustrations zing with humorous touches. An entertaining tale that sends a positive message about the power of friendship and the importance of individuality. --School Library Journal Incorporate this into fish- or shark-themed storytimes or share with Finding Nemo fans--either way, kids are likely to snap it up hook, line, and sinker. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Slack's bright blue scenes are full of action, reaction, and witty details. --Booklist
