Clark the Shark by Bruce Hale
This is a cute tale about a shark who has to learn about self-control. This is great for 1st to 3rd grade.
Filled with potty humor and adventure, this is for Captain Underpants and The Day My But Went Psycho lovers. When young Zeke, his twin sister, and his best friend are in the real world, the story is told in words. When they fall into Underwhere (a world beneath the Earth's surface with talking cats, revolutionary midgets, and an evil UnderLord) the story is told in comics. The black and white art reminded me a little of the Powder Puff Girls. This book is just the beginning of the Underwhere chronicles, expect many more installments in the future. Recommended for those who appreciate a healthy mix of world-saving and fart jokes.

This is part chapter book, part comic. The art doesn't do much for me, but it seems sufficiently silly.
Clark the Shark gets stage fright when it's his turn to present his book report.
