Review

Part of the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, the level 2 book features sharks and their six senses. This book series is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films prize for Outstanding Science Series. A fascinating look into sharks and how they use their senses, this book supports common core learning standards and next Generation Science standards. Text and illustrations in this shark book have been checked for accuracy by an expert in the relevant field. Key vocabulary words are highlighted using bolded text. A Find Out More section in the back is particularly helpful. It includes a shark (true and false) section along with additional information on (Sharks at Risk) and (How to Spot a Shark). Both of these sections include on-line links. A glossary at the end rounds out this well written and colorfully illustrated factual book on sharks.

A strong addition to both public and school libraries.

Overall Book Score: very good
