This book contains excellent photographs of sharks. It discusses in some detail great white sharks, their physiology, predatory tactics, prey, and birthing. It is usually 1 page of photo and 1 page of a couple sentences that describe the photo. It's so well written that it feels like a story. I was disappointed that the book didn't address sleep and rest, speed, frequency of shark attacks along the coasts and what to do if you see a fin. I was amazed by the photography. It showed a close-up of a great whitems teeth - 2 rows, very sharp, and, most interestingly to me, each tooth had jagged SERRATED TEETH LIKE A STEAK KNIFE. I GIVE IT AN A- and recommend it.
I ALWAYS LOVE THE BOOK SELLERS, I HAVE NEVER YET HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM OR WITH , AND OF COURSE, THANKYOU FOR THE MOST EXCELLENT PRICES YOU OFFER US BOOK JUNKIES. AS FAR AS THIS BOOK IS CONCERNED, IT'S OKAY AS FAR AS THE PHOTOS GO...BUT ONLY OKAY. THERE ARE NOT VERY MANY PICTURES. OF COURSE IT'S MORE FOR A CHILD THAN AN ADULT, I BOUGHT THE BOOK FOR THE PHOTOS SO I COULD DO QUICK SKETCHES OF SHARKS, IT HAS A COUPLE OF USEFUL PHOTOS BUT THEY ARE NOT HIGH QUALITY...HOWEVER, I AM NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN TO MUCH BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS ONLY A FEW CENTS. I'LL DONATE THIS ONE TO MY LIBRARY. THE BOOK IS WORTH THE PRICE IF YOU BUY IT FOR UNDER 5 BUCKAROOS. THANKS AGAIN TO THE BOOK-DEALERS-WE LOVE YOU AND HOW EASY HAS MADE IT TO FIND THE BOOKS I WANT TO TRY OUT.
The pictures were great! The kids really enjoyed reading it and learning so many facts about great white sharks and seeing many different pictures!
Item as described. Quick ship. Great packing and quality. Would buy from this seller again. Thanks for the great service.
Too gore for second grade...better for 4th grade up. Good info and pics though.
