Review
“Attractive and packed with information.” (Booklist)
[This book on sharks] is the BEST I have seen for kids and adults. Few shark books combine humor, truth, art, and a generous whetting of curiosity. (Leighton Taylor)
"An extraordinary alphabet of chondrichthyans from angel sharks to zebra sharks with a nifty intermingling of current and extinct species. In an introductory segment, Troll states that to make things 'simpler' he is calling 'all of the chondrichthyans sharks.' This arbitrary personal classification allows him to include such non-sharks as rays, guitarfish and chimaeras in his alphabet soup, sadly to the detriment of scientific purity. Two pages of "Amazing Shark Facts" precede his "Shark Field Guide," which carefully points out the non-sharks in his lineup, presenting data on size, color, range, status, and fascinating "general remarks," all of which provide enough information for the merely curious and a sturdy launching platform for further investigations. However, the book's greatest asset is the brilliant art bursting from the pages like jewels. Often whimsical (nurse sharks are shown gliding about a patient in a hospital bed) or very dramatic (an extinct megalodon attacking a pod of prehistoric cetaceans), the images glow on the pages like mixed-media gems." (School Library Journal)
Sharkabet is a fun, unique way to look at the world of sharks and the alphabet at the same time! Ratfish Ray covers some of the most amazing of the 400+ species of shark on the planet―and some extinct sharks too. The pictures are brilliant and every shark fact is clearly among the most fascinating of all shark facts known to humans! (Chris and Martin Kratt)
