About the Author:
Ruth Berman earned a B.A. in English from the University of Minnesota and turned her love of animals into a career. She has worked for the Sierra Club and for the Zoological Society of Philadelphia, and she has authored a number of young science titles for Lerner. Her first book, American Bison, was chosen as an Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 3-5-In an effort to demystify the terrifying image of the shark, Berman introduces its physiological workings through brief but detailed descriptions. Full-color photographs show the variety of sharks, and colorful diagrams amplify the easy-to-understand explanations of their behavior and anatomy. Unfamiliar terms are highlighted in bold print and defined in context; a photograph and caption further explicate them. There is some unscientific writing here, however. Food that the shark may consume is often referred to as ``dinner,'' as in ``dinner is served.'' Nevertheless, this introduction adds new information about sharks' skin and teeth, and includes a sobering look at the environmental dangers threatening these creatures.-Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
