Reviews

[Haley Kilgour · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall a really good book to teach kids the basics of sharks and whales.

However, simply due to the age of the publication, there are a few factually incorrect things. I also noticed a misidentification and grammatical error.

The artwork in this book is also amazing.
