About the Book



The long history of sharks is one of many interesting aspects explained in this photo-essay. Simon's basic premise is the need to overcome the preponderance of sensationalized accounts that tend to perpetuate the mythology of sharks as monsters.



Book Synopsis



Join award-winning science writer Seymour Simon in this picture book introduction to sharks. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 6 to 8. It's a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

If you believe the movies and books about shark attacks, you probably think that sharks are the biggest, scariest animals on the planet. But are all sharks the giant man hunters they are so often made out to be? What do they eat, where do they swim, and what do they do on weekends? Dive in and explore one of the world's most mysterious creatures with acclaimed science writer Seymour Simon.

With clear, simple text and stunning full-color photographs, readers will learn all about sharks--their behavior and habitat--in this informative picture book.

Perfect for young scientists' school reports, this book supports the Common Core State Standards.

From the Back Cover



Anyone who's ever been in the ocean has thought it: Are there sharks swimming here too? But people's fear far outweighs the danger. Acclaimed science writer Seymour Simon sets the record straight. Sharks are serious predators, but more people are killed in car accidents during a single holiday weekend than have been killed by sharks in the past hundred years.
