From the time Gilbert the Great White Shark was a tiny pup Raymond the Remora stuck to him like glue. Raymond was alwayson Gilberts side . . . Then one day Gilbert wakes up to discover that Raymond has gone. Mrs Munch does everything she can to help her little shark come to terms with his loss - and slowly but surely - Gilbert leans to smile a wobbly smile through his sadness. He knows that Raymond will always be in his heart and when Mum takes Gilbert to The Wreck a chance meeting helps him find happiness once more. Jane Clarkes heart-warming story is funny and sad in equal measure. Gilbert the Great will touch anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a friend or the joy of making a new one.
