Klein, A., & McKinley, J. (2011). Shark Attack!. New York: Scholastic Inc.
The class is taking a field trip to the aquarium and Freddy couldn't be more excited! Sharks are Freddy's favorite animal and he knows a lot of about them. To prepare for the trip, Freddy wears all his shark gear and makes sure to not forget his lucky shark tooth. The aquarium is full of cool animal including jellyfish, sting rays, and of course sharks! Freddy finds out there is a shark quiz that he can take and if he gets all questions right, he wins a prize! But when Freddy realizes he misplaces his lucky shark tooth, he doesn't know if he can finish the quiz without it.
1. If you were going on a class trip to an aquarium, what part would you be most excited about seeing, and why?
2. Freddy has his sharks tooth that he considered his good luck charm. Have you ever had a good lucky charm, and if so, what luck did it bring you?
3. Max is usually not very nice to Freddy and gets in trouble throughout the day. Why do you think Max was so willing to help Freddy to find his shark tooth?
4. What are some facts you remember from the book about any of the animals that were in the aquarium? Did you always know some of the facts, or were some new to you?
5. Jon mentions how important it is to take care of Earth and to protect all if it's living creature. What are some things you can do to help take care of our planet?
