Clears up misconceptions about sharks, describes a variety of species, and discusses the behavior and characteristics of sharks
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
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.
