Sharks have always fascinated me so when I found this book at my boyfriend’s house I had to read it. It has got some great photos in the book but what really frustrated me is that a paragraph would just be paused on a page and carry on two pages later after some photos and descriptions of the sharks. This meant that by the time I reached the continuation of the paragraph I had forgotten what it was about!!
Perhaps I just have a short term memory

Australian author, so most of the photos are of the area. Although it has the look of a kids book (large size, mostly photos) there is some hard science in the book. Enjoyable, and with plenty of interesting facts that I definitely did not know beforehand.

Another pick by my daughter for me.
