I absolutely loved this book. The comics in this book were truly uplifting and I had a smile on my face throughout the entire thing. Some of the comics also made me laugh out loud which I was not expecting. I cannot recommend this book enough.

This was a short and cute read and I really liked the art style, but overall it was not very memorable.

If you are looking for a comic series about love, kindness, friendship, and positivity, look no further than this one. This adorably bright and happy book follows sea creatures and a "sea human" in their day to day and the kindness and love they share with each other. It is so cute and inspiring and I loved every single strip and spread. Some pages were interactive and there were pages to introduce all the animals that would be throughout the book.

It will hit you right in the feels with every page turn. I won't give specifics because I really don't want to spoil anyone's experience with this book. It is worth a look, a flip through, and a read and a few times when you need some happy in your life. This was a good time for this book to be released and I hop that everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

Review will be live on February 25, closer to release date.

This collection was relentlessly nice and for that reason I feel sort of bad I didn't like it. It was incredibly, relentlessly nice and compassionate, in the same neighborhood as Mr. Rogers. But unlike Mr. Rogers, this collection felt like it was devoted to erasing the bad things and and feelings that happen in life as quickly as possible. I loved the positivity, but I don't automatically feel better when my friends or family give me a hug. Positivity and kindness and compassion help by acknowledging the pain and hurt and sadness and working to comfort and fix the underlying causes, not by trying to paper over and push down bad feelings as quickly as possible. These cartoons were very cutely drawn and did have a positive message, but it felt like there was no substance or honesty behind them.

So cute and really nice comics. Really nice to have collection of these if you follow or have seen these on Instagram.

Andrés J Colmenares is a wonderful artist and this book is a celebration of not only that art but also love and friendship. This is the perfect book when you need a gift for a friend or gift for yourself. The comics will make you laugh, and aww, and want to start attacking life with kindness.

When Sharks Attack with Kindness had me laughing from beginning to end. With each page, Colmenares brings hope to the reader, showing the little ways that we can all show kindness to one another. While we may not be able to pose as a tie for our friends when they go to an interview, or every day at work, the sweet moments shown in this short book will give you the encouragement to remember the little things in life that can help others, or even make you feel better. Perfect for Strange Planet fans and animal lovers, When Sharks Attack with Kindness will be sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

A wonderful, uplifting picture book not limited to children. I found myself smiling the entire way through and particularly admired the interactive portion at the end for music ambiance. 10/10 recommend for everyone who needs a pick-me-up or just wants to have a smile :)

DISCLAIMER: I am a Wawawiwa fan

Andrés Colmenares (for the first time in English) comes up with a beautiful product filled not only with his amazingly cute designs but also with so much wisdom that it will make reading this compilation a life lessons session with lots of kindness.

A cast of perfectly cure sea creatures will take you, hand in hand, through the discovery of the small things you can do to have a perfect life for you and for those that surround you.

Are you ready to attack the world with kindness?

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I chose to read this book as the cover was so sweet and colourful, and I'm so glad I did. It's a brilliant little book filled with pages and pages of cute images with positive life messages. The artwork is beautiful.

There are lots of shark 'friends' in the images, such as narwhal, penguins, clownfish, whales, catfish, electric eels, and all the pages me smile, with some even making me giggle. I loved it!

It deals with topics of loneliness, friendships, helpfulness and love,

Defintiely a tonic for everything going on in the world right now! Very heartwarming.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced copy in return for an honest review.

OH MY GOD, HOW CUTE! I can't believe that this book is this cute, I LOVE IT! The illustrations, the friendships, the jokes, everything! All about this was so perfect that I have no words. I love it beyond words and I can't wait to hold this one in my hands, really! Everyone should read it!

SO CUTE. I stumbled on this Instagram the other day and was so excited to see the new book on NetGalley--thanks for the ARC :)
This is exactly what we all need right now as the world turns upside down--some wholesome happiness to make us all smile.

This book was amazing, adorable, aesthetic and at least five other adjectives that start with A (amusing, amiable, alacritous…). My partner and I were talking about it for hours after we finished it. It’s a collection of humorous and clever 1-3 page comics about kindness, friendship, and sea creatures. This book really has something for everyone who doesn’t hate friendship. I can’t begin to tell you which were my favorite comics; they were all so good that I’ve already preordered a physical copy. This is definitely a collection worth owning and revisiting.

Rating: 5/5 stars.

“When Sharks Attack With Kindness” is a heart-warming collection of comics featuring adorable oceanic characters. It is suitable to be enjoyed by all audiences, be it a caregiver reading to a child, or an adult looking for a cute book to relax with.

In these trying times, it can be hard to find a reason to smile. Every comic in this book gives one. A main theme overall is that the smallest positive actions can have large ripple effects. What might seem small and unimportant to one, can have such a large, positive effect on another. Another resounding theme is the importance of friendship, and how two beings, even if very different, can find ways to bond together, despite physical space. These themes are ever more relevant in the world today.

I had seen some of the comics by the author before circulating on the Internet, but was not sure of the source. Now that I know, I have followed him on social media to get more daily doses of joy and positivity. Every page of this book had me laughing, smiling, and feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Mix that with the most charming little sharks in all the seas… what’s not to love?

*I received a complimentary copy of this book on NetGalley and have provided an honest review.*

A really nice feel good book. It brings joy and the illustrations are so cute.
It's really an interesting idea that the author choose to tell a cute story from a shark

As a sea human, I found this graphic novel to be exquisite. It was super adorable and uplifting. I loved the different sea creatures used on the different panels and the perspectives it showed. If you are in need of a pick me up, a boost of energy or your daily dose of kindness, pick this one up. I will go back to some of the illustrations over and over again when I have a bad day as most of them make me smile.

The panels were humorous and inspiring. I could each one being a poster I would hang up in my classroom.

Bonus - there's a soundtrack that goes with the graphic novel! Scan the QR code (at the end of the ebook version) and let the music sweep you away on this underwater adventure into friendship and kindness.

When Sharks Attack With Kindness is just such a cute and wholesome litte comic. I very much enjoyed it and it really worked as a great pick me up. Just a sweet collection of funny sketches, that I can recommend to anyone, who wants to relax and smile a bit

This was just beyond adorable and hilarious, I loved it.

(Starting the year strong with good feels)

Everything about this book is amazing - you have a sea human, you have the writer who is like coffee (makes everyone anxious), and deep see for deep topics (All his words, people!)

This book had me smiling from page 1!

So adorable. I loved the jellyfish! And the whale shark! And his little orange fish friend! I loved it all. A perfect pick me up during this challenging time! I hope there are more of these in future!
