Sharks Internet Linked Book
Boys and girls will find sharks of all different shapes and sizes, some as small as your hand, others bigger than buses.
Find out what drives them into feeding frenzies, how sharks look when they are about to attack, and how sharks can “feel” fish swimming nearby. Dramatic underwater photography brings boys and girls face to face with these incredible creatures, while lively illustrations provide an insight into their habits. This book is great even starting as young as age 3 because a toddler can say, “cool shark”, then
as boys and girls begin to read, they can read the details of the book. And later, when they need to do a school report, parents once again get full use of the book through the internet links. There are internet links to child friendly sites (that the publisher keeps up to date) and you can read so much more about sharks. There is plenty of information for a school report!
