My boy loves this book. Beautiful pictures and well written, easy to read
by Jonesie
Excellent first book for a little shark lover. The pictures are simply jaw-dropping. Very close up, very well lit, fantastic optics, good colours. Some of the information is a bit… sensationalist perhaps? but that’s what most kids are after, and that’s what’ll get them started anyway. It has info on many other dangerous and/or fascinating creatures, some of them look simply lovely in the pictures (killer and sperm whales… O_O ).
The size is not quite A4, but a bit smaller. I was somehow expecting a bigger book and was disappointed at first, but nevermind. The book is great and does tick all the boxes.

I bought this for my cousin’s 4 year old kid and he absolutely loves it! They have to read a page every night before bed and it’s been to nursery with him twice for show and tell ????

This is a great book. It covers extinct and current sharks. Daughter loves the predator power. It is really easy to read and understand. Great for an introduction to sharks for the under 10’s.
