1: Excellent kids book on sharks
The graphics and images are compelling, and it's loaded with facts. I used this book to enhance a science exhibit for K-8, and all ages learned interesting things from it. For younger or less confident readers, each 2-page spread has a different topic, so it is easy to read a bit and then put it down until the next time. I thought it would be watered down for the older children, but was pleasantly surprised that it had plenty of depth for the older ones.

2: This is more like it.
I had just finished reviewing a book for the younger reader about Sharks Where I was disappointed to find the content patronising and everything set in large type - as though children are blind as well as stupid. Then, to my utter delight, the very next book in my pile of "reviews to be completed" was this one - and what a contrast.
This book explains almost every single aspect of the Shark. It starts out by asking various questions; Which is the biggest Shark in the world?; How many teeth does a Great White have?, and so forth. But asking these questions is easy, it is the reply which takes both skill and, above all, knowledge. In this book, the author demonstrates both those attributes as, page after page, we are treated to a complete expos?? of the Shark - inside and out (literally!).
This book is a most useful tool and equally important to those who simply want their questions answered as it is for those who scuba dive and wonder about meeting these much-maligned creatures.
