Handicapped without teeth, he's an outcast-but lovable with a heart warming smile, and eats sea weed.

Confidence-a few tears leaves the reader a cheerful ending.

We all know that there were times in our lives when we were down and out…depressed and no where to turn, and ("a friend in need…is a friend indeed,") a friend came into our lives and gave us a little push from behind and off we went with a boost of strength and courage.

Hopefully the readers would just one day in their lives…be a…"Gums the Toothless Shark."
