A hilarious book from bestselling author and stand-up comic James Campbell, who has visited over 3,000 primary schools to tell stories and encourage children to write their own.

Ever wondered why sharks have such a bad reputation? Are they dangerous, human-munching monsters? Or have we got it all wrong? In fact, only SIX people get attacked by sharks every year across the WHOLE WORLD. And how many sharks are eaten by humans every year? ONE HUNDRED MILLION! So maybe sharks are more afraid of us .

Take a deep dive into the ridiculously funny life of sharks (and some things that have nothing to do with sharks but are still splendidly funny) according to James Campbell, comedian extraordinaire.

This face-achingly funny book will also teach you about great white sharks, tiger sharks and hammerhead sharks, just how incredibly old sharks are, and why sharks are SO important for the environment and how to look after them.

So, whether you're seriously afraid of sharks or love them so much you want to invite a shark to your next birthday party, this HILARIOUS book is for you. Prepare to roll around the floor laughing with the snot-inducingly brilliant The Funny Life of Sharks, with side-splittingly funny illustrations from Rob Jones.

James Campbell decided to be a writer when he was seven, once he had decided that he could not be a duck. James travels around primary schools, telling stories and encouraging children to write their own stuff. He spends lots of weekends around the country at literary festivals or in theatres, doing his one-man show (as a stand-up comedian). He has sold out many events, including his show at the Royal Festival Hall. James is the author behind the hilarious The Funny Life of Pets and The Funny Life of Teachers.

Rob Jones is an extremely funny young illustrator. In May 2015, his first book Bernard won The People's Book Prize. When he's not drawing, he makes toys and puppets (mostly characters from his books). Rob is the brilliantly fun illustrator behind The Funny Life of Pets and The Funny Life of Teachers.
