Synopsis
A spectacular collection of the fiercest, weirdest, and most extraordinary sharks.
Look into the deep to find the incredible range of sharks that inhabit our oceans. There is so much more to sharks than just the scary reputation of the Great White. Stunning photos reveal these beautiful creatures' amazing anatomy, from the hammerhead's alien-like eyes, to the sand tiger shark's multiple rows of thorny teeth. Discover how some sharks use electrolocation to find prey, while others use bioluminescence, and learn about the sharks' close cousins, the rays and sawfish.

Review
A large shark with a gaping mouth on the front cover gives readers fair warning what they will find inside as each of sixteen different kinds of shark gets a two page spread illustrated with eye-catching graphics (mostly photos), a chart that shows the adult shark's size relative to a human diver, and several paragraphs of relevant facts. A few of the sharks' close relatives (sawfish, rays, and prehistoric sharks) receive the same treatment. Additional sections cover general shark topics such as teeth, skeleton, skin, senses, eggs, and attacks. The close up photos of each animal staged mostly on black background with well-written captions dramatically illustrate how the sharks have attained their position as top ocean predators and raise this non-fiction book a cut above the average. Includes glossary and index. Although technically a paperback, the stiffer than usual cover material seems like it will hold up to rigorous use. 5 out of 5 stars.--Mary Melaugh"Youth Services Book Review" (02/07/2017)
