Interesting and informative

Sharks are probably the most feared ocean creatures, but how much do we really know about these magnificent beings? What triggers a shark attack? Are all sharks dangerous? Sharks attempts to dispel some of the myths we have about sharks, while sharing some interesting facts. Pop-up and other interactive pages enhance the learning experience for kids. Pictures and descriptions of the many different kinds of sharks are also provided. It's natural for humans to fear these awesome creatures, but we also need to remember they have their place in nature and serve an important function. The author reminds us that many sharks are endangered, and that conservation efforts are now in place. Well-written, informative and kid-friendly, Sharks is a great classroom or library resource on these ocean-dwellers. I highly recommend it. Reviewer: Alice Berger, Bergers Book Reviews

A book kids can really sink their teeth into!

This interactive book has pop-ups, pull-outs, pull-tabs, and all sorts of devices designed to make learning about sharks fun and engaging. The illustrations are wonderfully detailed -- each shark seems to have its own personality. The text presents plenty of interesting facts about sharks' habitat, life cycles, physical features, and diet, but in a way that doesn't make sharks seem evil or too scary (though there is a full spread on how to reduce the risk of attack and what to do in case of an attack). My boys love hearing about the different sharks and looking at the illustrations, especially sticking their hands in the gaping pop-up shark mouth and feeling its teeth.
