Have you ever wondered about sharks? Did you know that there are more that 250 species of sharks? Did you know sharks don't have bones? This book will teach you these facts and lots more. It even includes some shark safety tips.

All About Sharks is a very informative book. This book will help children understand these creatures of the deep better. I enjoyed looking all the pictures the book had of all types of sharks.

We recommend this book to children ages 5-8. Kids are curious about sea life and this is great book for them to read to learn more about sharks. The book would be a great reas aloud to science classes as well.

Jim Arnosky's All About Sharks deserves ongoing attention for its attraction for younger picturebook readers seeking a solid introduction with realistic color drawings which are startling but not terrifying. Full color and the inclusion of anatomical cut-aways for simple viewing make for an excellent basic introduction.

A must for the young shark enthusiast.My 5 year old uses the great illustrations to better his own shark art. Jim Arnosky is one of the best illustrators for kids. This book also covers the basic facts on sharks: The shark family divisions, shark anatomy, shark safety, shark teeth, and shark young.

My five year old grandson is an avid shark/fish "expert" and this book brought to life some interesting facts about sharks in addition to some excellent pictures. The book was inexpensive and my grandson really enjoyed both visualizing and learning about the different varieties of sharks.All About Sharks

An introduction to an animal that children are often fascinated with, illustrated in Arnosky's wonderful style with lots of information about the characteristics, habits, and varieties of sharks. From a creationist perspective, this one is unfortunately marred with an explicit evolutionary reference saying sharks have swum in the oceans for millions of years, and they haven't changed much in all that time. A judicious parent with a sharpie can easily excise this comment, however, and the rest of the book is quite interesting and straightforwardly informative.
