Sharks is a book full of shark facts and images that inform you about different types of sharks.
Very informative, and simple yet interesting. Good for early readers.
I would put this book in my reading corner or read it aloud when we are learning about sharks or doing a project involving them.

The book talks about the different types of sharks that live in the ocean. The illustrations demonstrate the sharks' unique qualities. Children who are interested in sharks might enjoy this book. This would be an excellent science book to introduce ocean life or sharks.

The books speaks to two of most students favorite things: vibrant pictures and rhymes. This book tells the story of many of the most notable sharks, although there are over 300 species of sharks. My tutee really enjoyed when I read this to him out loud so that the syllables and sounds could rhyme and make sense in his head. Helping students to promote active listening and a vivid imagination is a goal of any teacher.

I had this book in my home library for my nephew. I read it to him quite a bit. It has real-life pictures of the different kinds of sharks and gives details about them. It's a level 2 book which is for beginning readers so the child can read it to the adult or another child. It provides simple words and easy sentences that describe these amazing fish!
