Once upon a time, Mo and his family had been planning their summer vacation, and they had decided to go to San Diego, California. Mo, a curious and imaginative little boy with a love for sea creatures and pizza, had been excitedly looking forward to exploring the sandy beaches.

Mo had always been intrigued by marine animals, especially sharks. So when he heard rumors about a friendly pizza-loving shark living in the ocean, he had become even more thrilled about the trip. The shark was called Sharkie, and people said he was a great white shark that loved pizza more than anything in the world.

On their second day in San Diego, Mo and his family headed to the beach. Mo was keeping a close eye on the ocean, eager to catch a glimpse of Sharkie. As he was playing in the water, he suddenly noticed something unusual along with the waves. Mo suspected that it was pizza crusts and went to investigate.

As Mo got close, he found out that he had been right: there were pizza crusts floating around, and they looked fresh. Out of the blue, he saw a great white shark emerging from the water with pizza crust hanging from its mouth, and Mo felt a connection to the animal, naming him Sharkie. He instinctively wanted to be friends with the friendly creature, and he was excited to have found a creature so unexpected to share his passion for pizza and sea creatures.

Mo immediately drew a slice of pepperoni pizza from his bag and presented it to Sharkie. Sharkie, clearly overjoyed, consumed the pizza in one bite, and Mo felt an instant bond of friendship between the two of them.

That evening, as Mo settled down to sleep, his magical book, Bookie, appeared before him. He cautioned Mo about the danger of feeding sharks pizza and expressed his concern that the two of them might be risking their lives by befriending Sharkie.

Mo was surprised to hear this and listened carefully as Bookie explained why he felt this way. He explained that Sharks aren't adapted to digest pizza in their bodies, and because pizzas can often be high in salt and fat, it could significantly harm their immune system and affect their overall health.

Mo felt unsettled after learning this and wondered how he could help Sharkie without putting his life in danger. But rather than giving up, he decided to come up with a solution. He talked to his family about the issue and brainstormed with them, coming up with the idea of making pizza from ingredients that would be safe and enjoyable for a shark to consume.

The following day, Mo, Sharkie, Bookie, and a new friend, Garby, a friendly garbage truck who enjoyed cleaning up the environment, set out to explore the ocean more. They looked for unusual non-toxic ingredients that would make up their Sharkie-friendly pizza. The team scoured the depths to find vibrant green seaweed, sweet-tasting algae, and delicious crustaceans.

Mo's new friends showed him which ingredients were the best, by pointing out the best sources and giving useful information about each ingredient. They explored the ocean depths, finding new creatures and observing sea life. Garby proved especially helpful, collecting rubbish and helping to keep the ocean clean.

Once all the necessary ingredients had been collected, the group headed to Tony's Pizza, Mo's favorite pizzeria in San Diego. Tony was puzzled to see Mo enter his shop with a giant white shark, but Mo explained the plan and convinced him to help. 

Tony helped Mo prepare the new pizza ingredients, and the pizza smelled so good that it made Sharkie’s mouth water. The shark eagerly awaited the chance to try the new recipe.

Once the pizza was ready, Sharkie took a bite, and his excitement was obvious. The pizza was delicious, and Sharkie loved it. Mo was overjoyed for having found a way to enjoy pizza safely with his new friend.

As they savored the Sharkie’s Special pizza together, Mo, Sharkie, Bookie, and Garby realized that they could collaborate on a common goal. They chatted about keeping the ocean clean and how it could benefit sharks and other sea creatures. They left Tony’s pizza joint feeling happy and invigorated.
