What is Kingfisher Knowledge: Sharks about?
<p><P><i>Sharks</i> offers an extensive look at the notorious predators of the deep, providing insights on shark behavior, habitats, and the surprising variety of species that inhabit our oceans. In addition to breathtaking underwater photography, full-action computer-generated artwork brings to life the long-extinct Megalodon as it preys on a prehistoric whale, and captures the moment that a lemon shark gives birth in shallow waters. Through the fascinating text and imagery, readers will learn facts about shark attacks; discover how sharks breathe, swim, communicate, and catch their prey; and find out the latest shark news and research.</p><h3>School Library Journal</h3><p><P>Gr 4-6<P> This is a pleasant introduction to the varied world of shark species, giving snippets on such critters as the ultra-tiny pygmy ribbontail catshark, the gigantic whale shark, the streamlined blue shark, and the frill wobbegong. In facing-page units, Smith covers such topics as physiology, pregnancy, and birth (no mention of mating), feeding techniques, migrations, and the long history of the shark family.
