Easy to read and filled with fun facts about sharks, this entertaining book is a must-have! Readers learn that there are more than 500 different types of sharks including the lesser known carpet sharks and swell sharks--they can get bigger by swelling up. There is a big difference in sizes of sharks too! Did you know one type of shark is shorter than a pencil? It's the American pocket shark--you could actually fit one in your pocket!
There is so much more to this amazing animal--like superpowers. Because of the placement of their eyes on either side of their head, sharks are able to see in many directions all at once--super-vision! Sharks can swim faster than tigers can run, and not only that, sharks sense of smell is second to none. They can smell one drop of blood in ten billion drops of water!
Clever illustrations and dialog bubbles will keep readers engaged. Text with facts is presented in boxes no longer than half of the page. This design will keep pages turning and reluctant readers reading! And that is a SUPERPOWER!
Highly, highly recommended for future marine biologists, zoologists, scientists and today's animal lovers, and ecology minded young readers.
Grade 3 and up. Second grade readers who love to read should try this book.
