CREEPY! From the lifelike, (too) detailed photos down to the incredibly informative text, this shark book has it all for shark fanatics. I learned more about sharks and shark behavior than I think I could have ever wanted to know...and swimming in the ocean will be a little more exciting (terrifying) now!
My favorite excerpt, "Ancient sharks ate dinosaurs that fell into the sea!" um, wow, okay.
There is really a lot of fascinating info here and the images are quite nice. This is written for Level 2 Developing Readers.
I can see this and others from the Scholastic series being part of a science lesson and that's how I would use it in a classroom. It would definitely spark a lot of interest from some students and who knows where they will go from there?!

This photograph-filled book is perfect for first or second grade readers interested in sharks. It tells about sharks that are different sizes as well as describing the physical features and eating habits of sharks. Young readers may find it interesting to note that sharks present little danger to humans despite the media hype when someone dies from a shark attack. Interestingly, too, sharks need the help of humans to thrive since many of them are killed for various reasons.

Books like this are so informational for children and hold such a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy reading books, like this one and many others to my children, for if you start them young then they will grow to have a love for reading and adventure!

The reason I liked it is because I like sharks. It also lots of facts about them like the Whale Shark is the biggest type of shark, but is was very interesting.
