This book is all about the Shark Scientist Greg Skomal. It takes you through different chapters that talk about all about his real life research about Sharks. It talks about what is a shark and then the different places that sharks are located, different types of sharks, and also why Greg Skomal

loves Sharks so much. It would be a great informational text to use to introduce a unit on shark or to even use if students were practicing explanatory writing.

This is an informative book about Great White Sharks. It is set up like a journal from a shark scientist but also talks about places that love great whites. This is a good informational book because it is fully informative about Great White Sharks and things about them. I would use this for fourth

to seventh grade. There are real life pictures that were photographed.
