Reviews

[MKE Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

🦈 We are HUGE fans of sharks here and even bigger fans of 5-minute stories & nat geo kids! This book is perfect for children who love nonfiction and sharks. Each chapter is quick but full of interesting facts and captivating pictures! Mom even learned some fun facts, and we are all now super obsessed with Dr Catherine Macdonald, who is a Nat Geo Explorer featured in one of the chapters in this book!

⚠️ We’d recommend this for ages 4+ as long as they’re okay learning about the kinds of animals sharks eat! We at MKE Books understand it’s all part of the circle of life, but it could be upsetting to more sensitive kids to learn that cute seals and sea turtles get eaten 🫣
