The very youngest readers can learn all about sharks-the fiercest of the fish family-in this informative Level 1. The simple, clear text and striking pictures makes this a perfect first introduction to these amazing creatures.
With a child obsessed with animals books and getting her hands on everyone she can, this was a must have. It did not disappoint, there were sharks I didn't know about either.
While being completely mindful that this is a young readers' book (Level 3!), the fact that it is much shorter than most other books of this level (only 32 pages instead of 48) AND that the total word count is actually very low (even by factoring in the lower page count), this book might've been better suited as a Level 2 book.
Don't get me wrong - there ARE interesting facts in this book about sharks, just too few of them.
Another book from Ginjer Clarke that does exactly what I need it to do. It introduces sharks as a subject, along with basic information such as names of species, their average sizes and what they eat. This is interesting to beginning readers, even those who are a little advanced in age.
