Uncover a Shark
Uncover one of the world's most fascinating and feared predatory creatures in this innovative 3-dimensional book. Uncover a Shark takes you on a whole new learning experience, layer-by-layer to provide children with an indepth and all encompassing understanding of the subject and its anatomy. Great Whites are one of the most feared and studied mammals of all time. This 16-page book examines the alluring Great White in detail. First the basic elements--their cartilaginous nature, teeth, fins, and gills--then more complex systems are detailed--the cardiopulmonary systems, digestive system, and the acute sensory systems. Each organ or system is intricately placed inside the book to provide a three dimensional view of its size in relation to the rest of the body. Each page is filled with interesting facts and detailed illustrations that desctibe each part.
Did you know that engineers study sharks in order to design better ships and rockets since the sharks body is well-suited to gliding through the water? Or that a great white can also eat 10 tons of meat a year but often go several days in between meals. Explore these questions and many others as Uncover a Shark takes you on a jouney you won't forget!

Very cool book.

The model is very well done; as you turn each page some parts are removed and the next page focuses on the new top layer. Legomeister loves it. The information is very interesting, not oversimplified, but broken up into small, digestible chunks.
Warning: with constant use and abuse the model will break. This one has one particularly heavy piece that's starting to fall off the delicate bits of plastic that hold it in place. We have had it a couple of years. It was so worth it.

A really excellent book. This is a 3D adventure into shark anatomy. As you turn the pages, more parts of the anatomical model of a shark become revealed and isolated. It's a great way for children to learn about anatomy -- descriptions are pitched at the right level -- and it's also great for adults coming from non-biological backgrounds to start to understand how the various systems come together in a shark. A great idea and a real educational resource.
