There's no doubt about it, children are fascinated by sharks! Whether it's their sleek bodies or the power they command in the ocean, sharks continue to be a favorite subject of children of all ages. In Sharks, young readers will delve into the fascinating world of sharks, learning how they hunt, why they are being threatened, and why they need camouflage. Each volume combines large, easy-to-read type and spectacular photographs of the curious varieties of sharks. This rare and thorough look into the world of sharks will compel and inform every reader.These youngsters wouldn't necessarily be described as cute, but their story will enthrall young readers interested in the ways a young shark (known as a pup) develops, from the embryonic stage to the time, often six to ten years later, when it has matured enough to have pups of its own. Sharks must face a variety of dangers -- from fellow sharks, other predators, and even humans who hunt them for food and sport.Victor Gentle is the author of 'Baby Sharks (Sharks (Gareth Stevens))' with ISBN 9780836828245 and ISBN 0836828240.
