So I’ve actually seen a lot of these comics before on Facebook and Instagram, and I’m so happy to know they came from this book! 😂

Life often sucks. There's no way around it. Unless there sometimes is? Like in this book?

I think a lot of people need this book, especially right now.

Times are really tough. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and besides all the content smiles it also made me laugh A LOT!

Set around sea creatures, especially sharks, the book is focused on the values of friendship, kindness and support. Every single comic has an important message in it, in my opinion.

I loved every illustration and marine animal in this book.

This graphic novel was hilarious and well-drawn, definitely worth the money and the hype, and I hope will be successful!

This book is precious and the illustrations are so cute!!! I just love this little comic book of sharks doing the sweetest things.

As always, thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review

“When Sharks Attack With Kindness“ by Andres J Colmenares is a book of cartoons based on his aquatic wawawiwa comics.

In this book, comics mainly featuring sharks, or sometimes other sea creatures deal with kindness as well as friendship. Look out for the sea human.

I like this sweet collection of comics. The drawings are really cute also. If you’re not in the mood for an overdose of nice, this may not be the book for you.

I just reviewed When Sharks Attack With Kindness by Andrés J. Colmenares. #WhenSharksAttackWithKindness #NetGalley

A very enduring comic. It will put a smile on your face.

This graphic novel was so incredibly precious that I immediately followed the author on Instagram and have been reading them ever since. All the comics include loveable sea characters and adorable antics. It was heartwarming and if I ever see it somewhere, I will certainly purchase a copy.

This is a heartwarming comic that offer so many sweet stuff about friendship happened among under the sea creatures. Many emotions run around its pages. You should see how shark and his friends spends their time together.

I love how he draws all the fishes in a cute shape and put many colors on them.

this was a really cute book, I loved the art style and enjoyed looking at it. It had a great message and was wonderfully done.

This is very cute and fun, and perfect to read in summer. It’s entertaining and I’d like to read more.

Adorable and funny!

This graphic novel was equally as heartwarming as it was funny! Upon picking up this book it may seem like each comic is their own little slice of life piece. However, there really is an overarching story about love, friendship, and the importance of making the most of your life.

Since I do follow this artist on Instagram, I was worried that this book would just be recycling content I've already seen. It was such a nice surprise to find that I was only familiar with a handful of the comics so the majority of illustrations were completely new to me!

What really made this artist's book stand out compared to others I've read was the interactive elements which added another layer to the full reading experience. I highly recommend picking this graphic novel up for a little dose of happiness through told through absolutely adorable art!

Such a cute meaningful book. It's amazing how much a book with such simple art style can make someone feel. It was absolutely adorable, and I wish I could have a physical copy of it.
The art style was simple which actually made the whole comic really interesting and gave it a very warm vibe. It was easy to understand and actually really easy on the eyes. It followed a color scheme which gave the whole book a direction and made it more engaging.
This is the kinda book someone can finish in a single sitting. Highly recommend

This was cute and adorable and filled with all kinds of feel-good happies. It absolutely brightened my afternoon, and I'm sure it will brighten your afternoon or any other time of day as well. Buy this for yourself, buy it for a friend, buy it for that coworker who makes it easier to get through your shift, and enjoy all the kawaii sea critters being cute and warm and fuzzy!

this is an aggressively wholesome book, which ordinarily wouldn’t appeal to me, but, like a pool party, adding sharks to the equation changes everything.

the intro lets you know exactly what brand of corny-adorable to expect:

<i>This is a book about kindness, relationships, and love, and since these are such deep subjects, I’ve made it underwater.</i>

it’s cheesy and silly, but these days, we could all do with a bit of both.

the illustrations are very charming

<img class="gr-hostedUserImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614510666i/30938312._SX540_.png" />

and as far as the sentiments go, even though <strong>SOME OF US</strong> have become cynical monsters ground down by _______ (noun) and, _______ (recent atrocity), and the  _______ (adjective) state of the world, it’s good to be reminded of certain truths, even if they’re a little trite.

like, we’re never as alone as we feel

and we contribute value to the world, even when we don’t realize it

<img class="gr-hostedUserImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614510666i/30938318._SY540_.png" />

there’s also some good advice here in the areas of conflict resolution

and tips on impressing potential employers

the real takeaway here is that even when we fail to live up to our impossible goals

<img class="gr-hostedUserImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614510666i/30938314._SY540_.png" /> <img class="gr-hostedUserImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614510666i/30938313._SY540_.png" />

we can at least fail adorably.

that is the lesson i am choosing to learn here.

it's the same *kind* of book as <a title="The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy" href="https://amzn.to/2NqYXvJ" rel="nofollow noopener">The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse</a>, but it's cuter and funnier, so i didn't feel as emotionally <i>grubby</i> at the end of this one.

now i'm off to fail adorably...

I enjoyed this thoroughly and it is a cute little book. The drawings are so adorable and this book is great way to teach others, Sharks are my favorite animals and i hope others can learn to appreciate them just like this book does.

This is very cute and sweet. Nothing mind-blowing here, but it will hopefully bring smiles to some people's faces. It's nice for keeping it on your bedside table and reading a comic or two a day. Will appeal to fans of other web/instagram comics of a similar type, like Strange Planet, Poorly Drawn Lines, Liz Clomo, etc.

I found this book absolutely delightful. It was cute and relatable and even though a couple of the jokes were a bit corny overall it was wonderful. I would definitely buy this book for friends as a thoughtful way of expressing my friendship. The illustrations were adorable and I'd love to get some prints made of a few of them.

Thanks to Netgalley and Andrew McNeill Publishing for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

When Sharks Attack With Kindness by self-taught artist and author Andrés J. Colmenares offers readers a sweet and gentle trip under the sea. We spend a lot of time with Great White Shark, who is soon given an unlikely companion in the form of a little fish that later poses as his necktie.

Colmenares' illustrations are adorable. I particularly love the deliberate soft round shapes of the Great White and the Whale shark. So cute!

Readers will find comics with a cute punchline here, as well as some gentle life advice. The pages that stuck with me the most were the story of the turtle, who outlives his friend the octopus, and the Great White noticing that the most precious treasure is the rock he met his best friend! Colmenares' humour varies from puns and gags to clever twists (I loved the Shark Tank reference).

The author even makes a couple of brief cameos in the book as a human self insert!

Readers will also enjoy a playlist of songs to accompany this book by scanning a QR code. I read it via the Netgalley app so I wasn't able to, but I am curious as to what's on there!

Perfect for fans of wholesome online comics, much like one of my 2020 faves, Cat's Cafe Comics.
