There's no better way to get up close and personal with sharks — inside and out!

Editorial Reviews

Gr 3-5-Unlike the many books on the topic that concentrate on the physical details and appearances of sharks, this one focuses on the whys and hows of their bodily functions. Included are clear discussions of breathing processes, skeletons, and teeth, along with some engrossing descriptions of how these animals move, see, and breed. The full-color photographs are striking, giving readers close-up looks at different species and body parts. Children fascinated by these creatures should be thrilled with Markle's offering.Melissa Hudak, North Suburban District Library, Roscoe, IL
