Yarns and Shanties (and Other Nautical Baloney) (Sherman's Lagoon #12)

Lauded for promoting marine conservation, Sherman's Lagoon appears in 250 newspapers in 30 countries in six languages.

This collection transports readers to an imaginary lagoon near the South Pacific island of Kapupu, where a cast of coral reef critters battles the encroachment of civilization.  Inhabitants of this nautical neighborhood include Sherman, an always hungry and otherwise typical great white shark and his witty, pearl-wearing wife, Megan, along with friendly Fillmore the turtle, geeky fish Ernest, macho hermit crab Hawthorne, and salty old Captain Quigley, who remains vengeful after losing his leg to Sherman.
