What a treat this excellent information book will be for young shark lovers. It’s been designed, written and illustrated with real care to give readers a proper understanding of sharks and shark behaviour.
It includes its fair share of fascinating facts, but all presented with context and details to explain the whys and hows. I particularly like the explanation for shark superpowers, including their ability to detect electrical signals via the ampullae of Lorenzini, an amazing name for an incredible superpower as the book says.
From hunting to habitat, baby sharks to bioluminesce, there’s so much to discover and so much explained so well. Vicky Barker’s illustrations are very attractive too and complement Susan Martineau’s text perfectly.
What is a shark? Do sharks have friends? And do sharks really have superpowers?
The perfect book to surprise shark-loving superfans and delight nature investigators everywhere. Join award-winning non-fiction duo, Susan Martineau and Vicky Barker, as they journey through mangroves, along the shore and into the deep on the hunt for the answers to these questions ... and many more. There are coral reef sharks, glow-in-the-dark sharks, baby sharks and even mystery sharks.
But the big question on your mind is ... do they want to eat us? Dive in and find out!
