Learning About Sharks (Dover Little Activity Books)

In this easy-to-read, hands-on guide for young naturalists, author and nature illustrator Jan Sovak introduces children to one of the most fascinating (and most feared) of all deep-sea creatures — the shark. Each page of text describes distinguishing characteristics of one of 12 different species, among them the odd-looking hammerhead and extremely rare goblin shark, the great white shark, as well as the sandbar, silky, bonnethead, mako, angel, tiger, and whitetip sharks. Each page also contains space for a peel-and-apply sticker. A great way to combine sticker fun with learning about these ocean-going predators, this little book will also appeal to parents and teachers in search of inexpensive learning aids.
