From School Library Journal
Gr 5-8-A readable, informative text provides a general introduction to sharks-their evolutionary history, physiology, behaviors, and reproduction-rather than a catalog of species. A chapter is included on the plight of many shark species, a slow reproductive group, as they are overfished commercially and by sports fishermen, and become victims of miles-long drift nets in the open ocean. Vivid full-color photos enhance the visual impact of this slim volume, as do the information boxes and the clear diagrams. Balance Grace's informed look at an ancient evolutionary group with Sandra Markle's fine Outside and Inside Sharks (Atheneum, 1996) to satisfy any shark lover's appetite.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
