The illustrations are weak, but there is some good information in this book. It is not graphic or scary. It is a good introduction to sharks and goes well with a unit

What a great book! Very informative. What little kid doesn't have some sort of fascination with sharks! I still do as an adult. The book tells you about all the different sharks there are, what they eat, what their habitat is like.

Text provides basic information on shark habitat, feeding habits, and community. Writing style and vocabulary make this a good choice for an newly independent reader. Illustrations are helpful in showing the features and size of various sharks.

what distinguishes each species (e.g. the whale shark is gentle, the great white shark is the most dangerous). I did feel I had to tone down the danger element a bit because of my grandson's age, but I do know that this book was intended for older children (i.e. beginning readers). Nevertheless, I found this book fun to read and very informational. I very much liked this book's colorful and detailed illustrations (although it seemed other readers wanted photographs instead).
