Claude the shark is feeling gloomy. His friends are all very busy but Claude is definitely not interested in what they want to do - it's boring! Back in his cave, feeling crosser than ever, Claude suddenly has a brilliant idea - maybe there is something they can enjoy together - it just happens to be a little bit different ...! A flamboyant text about friendship and individuality, accompanied by Jill's wonderfully energetic art.
