Omg! When Sharks Attack With Kindness was the cutest, most wholesome thing that has happened to me throughout all of 2020. As a self-proclaimed shark fin-atic, these comics were exactly how I believe sharks should be portrayed! The comics were cute, funny and enjoyable for people of all ages! Loved it!

Every piece of Colmenares' inspires such joy and creativity! Bringing kindness and love to sea creatures and inspiring readers to find the little things in life, this book is incredibly endearing and a perfect gift for yourself if ever in need of a smile or chuckle.

Definitely, I am going to buy this one. I love sharks and I want this to be a goodnight book for my future children. It's unbelievably cute, about friendship and kindness, it's funny, and "I totally misread the situation." made me laugh out loud. Brilliant. More like this, the right dosage of cuteness.

This is one of the best graphic comic collections I have read this year. And considering the number of books I've read from that genre in 2020, that's saying quite a lot!
Set around sea creatures especially sharks, the book espouses the values of friendship, kindness and support. Every single comic conveys a lot.
The entire book has the cutest illustrations that are totally "Awww-inducing". You'll begin to see sharks and other sea animals in a very different light.
Absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to one and all.

I have been following WawaWiwa Comics for some time now on Instagram. I absolutely love the comics, and the ones included in this book. I will definitely be purchasing this one on release day. I am also hopeful if this one does well, we will see a Visual Hug 1 & 2. As well as other future books.

This was such a sweet comic collection, full of so much charm! I’d recommend it for slightly older kids who want a short a funny introduction to comics.

Book received via netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
This book is absolutely cute and funny. It is filled with friendship, kindness and other emotions. I smiled my way through the book. Exactly what I needed right now. It was delightful and the drawings are adorable!
In a word : heart-warming!

Wow, I totally didn't expect to love this book. I can't stop smiling throughout the book. It's really simple yet funny and it's filled with puns too! The illustration is SO cute and I'd love to buy a copy for myself when this book comes out.

This comic is ideal for those who want to leave their mind blank and fill it with positive and pleasant thoughts for themselves. I felt a beautiful warmth on each page and I enjoyed the illustrated situations far more than I expected. Simply I loved it.

Well that was SUPER cute !! I was smiling all along.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC

This is a book full of lighthearted comics about every day life. Taking place in the ocean to present deep thoughts, the author is able to personify many different aquatic creatures and allow them to experience scenarios humans live through all the time. From sharks being matchmakers for humans, to turtles losing friends to the sands of time and then gaining new ones, this book is able to hook the reader with the art-style and personalties given to these creatures. There is also a list of creatures at the beginning, so that the reader will be able to identify them as they swim deep into the sea and enjoy the book in its entirety.

This collection of comics stars an assortment of adorable undersea creatures in sweet scenes. This is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face.
I received a digital ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun book and I really enjoyed it.
The illustrations were great and I loved the comments which added just what was needed to bring them to life
Fun and light-hearted and one that genuinely made me smile - just what I needed to pick me up
It is 4 stars from me for this one, some fabulous illustrations and one that made me smile!

This book is absolutely fantastic. A bit of light in the darkness that has been 2020. Super cute artwork and messages.

This book is so well designed; even the dedication page! Each comic is smart, cute, and wholesome, making this collection enjoyable for children and adults alike. Really impressed with this one!
Thanks to NetGalley, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Andres Colmenares for the ARC!

This. is a cute picture book. I feel this book can be called "early graphic novel". There is no story in it, but all little kindness things Shark does for making friends. Very positive and funny.

When Sharks Attack With Kindness is a beautifully illustrated book about a shark and his adventures. Some parts of it were funny and some were sweet. Myself and my 4 year old son enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for my ARC.

the best comic EVER!
This is the kind of comic that everyone needs to read. It is just beautiful , clever and funny, a comic full of humor (from adorable to dark humor) but with the same message: love, friendship, understanding.
it is a cinnamon roll made of a book. It's adorable, but at the same time funny, I was with a silly smile throughout the comic. I loved it, period.
super adorable art with humor = LOVE.
#WhenSharksAttackWithKindness is one of the titles that I want to give to everyone.

I have been following Andrès Colmenares for quite a time on Instagram and I absolutely adore his comics. They are very cute and always positive, making me smile even when it’s a rough day. I have always wanted to get my hands on his book A Visual Hug but haven’t had the chance to find it in France yet. So when I saw this new little comic book on Netgalley, I immediately jump on the occasion and, as you may guess it, I couldn’t but read the whole book at once. I definitely will re-read it and buy it if possible.
It made me laugh, it made me smile, it gave me hope for the world we live in. In sum, I loved it. I have nothing more to say. The drawings are cute and colourful and all the short stories are linked by their message: be kind to each other. I recommend it, for yourself and just to gift to someone.
5/5

I smiled the ENTIRE WAY THROUGH reading this comic book. At the end my cheeks actually hurt a little bit from smiling, haha. I had to take a picture of a few pages and send it to a friend because it was perfect for them. This is such a cute, silly little book - but the messages in it are really lovely and profound (or as the author would say, "deep" which is why it takes place underwater!) The illustrations are so cute, and I love that there's a balance of comics with deep messages about friendship and self-love and some that are just SO silly (like deep sea anglerfish changing their lights to colored ones for Christmas mode!) I highly recommend this book, and plan to keep a copy around to flip through when I need a pick-me up or a smile.
