Customer Reviews

Excellent book for the younger reader.

When he was very young, my son continually begged me to teach him to dive. Once I considered him old enough, he got that training and went on to be come a very good diver. In the meantime, however, he was always very frustrated and disappointed. All I could do was discuss it with him and buy him books similar to this one. Aimed at the younger reader - though not too young, this book explains all about the Shark and does so under a series heading of "Great Creatures of the World." I was delighted to see this magnificent and much maligned fish given such status alongside other equally magnificent creatures in the same series. Some excellent photographs and diagrams - but most of all, this is a book from which the younger generation will learn something positive and I fully recommend it. NM
