Sharks!: A Children's Guide (Wild Animals Edition)

Sharks! A Children’s Guide is a fun and educational book created especially for younger readers. It introduces kids to the fascinating world of sharks—those beautiful, yet often misunderstood, deep-sea travelers. While sharks can sometimes seem scary, this guidebook aims to help children appreciate how unique and amazing they really are.

For many years, I’ve been writing best-selling books for the Explore Series: Wild Animals editions, covering all kinds of incredible creatures. However, I began to realize that some of the real-life photos—especially those showing animals during mealtime—might be a bit too intense for very young children. That’s when I decided to create a new series just for little readers.

Sharks! A Children’s Guide is the third book in this new series, tailored with care and curiosity for curious young minds. My hope is that you’ll read it together with your child, helping them sound out new words and spark conversations about the amazing underwater world.

Inside, you’ll find vibrant images, a few fun drawings, and helpful charts. These show different shark species, tail shapes, teeth types, body parts, and even a close-up photo of shark skin—it might not look like what you expect! There’s also a simple Dictionary at the end to explain any tricky words your child might come across, along with some Bonus Pictures added just before the glossary—just for fun!

Here are just a few of the sharks featured in the book:

• Bull Shark

• Bigeye Sixgill Shark

• Tiger Shark

• Hammerhead Shark

• Horn Shark

• Lesser Spotted Dogfish

• Blue Shark

• Nosy Cow Shark

• Shortfin Mako Shark
  …and many more!

Whether your child already loves sharks or is just beginning to explore the animal kingdom, this guide is a perfect introduction. Dive into the deep with us!
