Gr 1-4-Arnosky investigates this amazing fish that always seems to captivate and frighten young readers. Different species and families are illustrated in simple drawings, and the various parts of a shark's body are labeled and explained in a basic, easy-to-read text. One spread is devoted to teeth, and those of various species are described and pictured. Students will gain an understanding of sharks, their habitats, their lives, and the way that they reproduce. An attractive, informative addition on an ever-popular topic.-Barbara L. McMullin, Casita Center for Technology, Science & Math, Vista, CA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
