Illustrated by
Charles Fuge.
Against his mother's orders, great white shark Gilbert (Gilbert the Great) ventures off with his remora-fish friend to play hide-and-seek beyond the edge of their reef. Gilbert soon finds, however, that he's out of his depth. Playful blue-green illustrations provide readers with an imaginative view of the deep sea, but the story itself is didactic.
