What happens on the card

A shark is stuck at the top of three canal locks running down to the sea. Each gate opens its own way: drag the sluice up, spin the wheel, pull the lever. The water rushes out and carries the shark down, lock by lock, to the sea, where the birthday cake waits on a raft and the news helicopter tows their name across the sky.

Who it is for

Shark fans, divers and swimmers, ocean lovers, and the one who always takes the wrong turn but gets there anyway.
