About the author

Kay de Silva created the Our Amazing World Series with the premise of creating beautiful, fact-rich books, written in simple words that kids would love to read over and over again.

The series is based on themes of animals in their natural habitats, with a strong call to appreciate the role that each living creature plays in making our world the abundant and fascinating place that it is.

Kay practiced as a lawyer for some years before moving into corporate communications. She left the career rat-race behind to bring up her two children; a daughter of seven and a son of five. She and her family live in Melbourne Australia.

"It's so rewarding to hear of the delight that my books bring to young readers. Equally thrilling are the messages from parents who say 'Really? I didn't know that."

She'd love to hear from you too, and can be found on:

[Dakotah Sporing · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book would be very good for a science in an older classroom maybe fourth or fifth grade. Other than that there is not really much extra use other than just improving reading skill and expanding vocabulary. I chose this book because of the wide range of topics it can be used in and it has factual information for a middle age class room (4th-5th).

I think there are better shark books out there, but I enjoyed reading it despite being short. Kay de Silva went through and talked about a bunch of different sharks. My only negative feedback is that she said they came millions/billions of years ago. Not true.

There are much better books out there on sharks - but hey it was a free kindle book and it entertained the wee one for a few minutes.

Sam is WAY into sharks. This was educational without being too simple or too over his head. He LOVED it.

Kids liked it.

Good info, but not worth paying for. All the same info is on many shark conservation websites.

A bit of a rip off

This book has about 20 chapters. Each chapter consists of a stock photo and two paragraphs of text which look like they were lifted from Wikipedia. Not worth the price
