This rare and thorough look into the world of sharks will compel and inform every reader.These youngsters wouldn't necessarily be described as cute, but their story will enthrall young readers interested in the ways a young shark (known as a pup) develops, from the embryonic stage to the time, often six to ten years later, when it has matured enough to have pups of its own.
