Sharks

Shark biology for young readers, covering how the animals hunt, how they breathe and how the group has changed since prehistoric times. Part of the DKfindout! reference series, this title pairs photography with illustration and keeps the text in short labelled sections, so a child can read a full page or just the captions and still come away with something. Coverage extends past the familiar species to bullhead, carpet and angel sharks, and includes egg cases matched to the adults that laid them. Quizzes break up the information, and the vocabulary stays tied to school curriculum topics. Points that stand out: • Photographs and diagrams carrying as much information as the text • Species coverage beyond the usual favourites, including angel and carpet sharks • Quiz pages that let children check what they have taken in • Curriculum-linked content from the DKfindout! reference series A solid pick for primary-age children who collect animal facts and for school and home reference shelves, from Boipoka.
