Enter the mysterious underwater world of the shark, and discover how the various members of this fascinating family of fish are perfectly adapted to their environments. Large, colorful spreads complemented by step-by-step illustrations and informative captions provide children with a close-up look at these toothy predators, including where they live, how their bodies work, what they eat, and how they catch their prey. Whether it's the ferocious tiger shark, the slow-moving basking shark, or the cleverly camouflaged nurse shark, every child's favorite shark can be found in this exciting overview of shark life. At the end of the book, an illustrated glossary and comprehensive index offer a feeding frenzy of exciting details to sharpen the young reader's reference skills.
