Sharks!
National Geographic Science Readers
by Ann Schreiber
From the open-jawed great white leaping-up to-bite-you shark on the cover to the tiny pigmy shark with its
glow-in-the-dark belly, this newest National Geographic Kids book will captivate and delight young readers.
Sharks! is an excellent non-fiction book filled with exciting photographs and packed with information.
Dotting the pages are Word Bytes to explain challenging vocabulary, fun facts of shark tidbits, and even a
joke or two just for fun.
Sharks! is one of National Geographic's easy-to-read series of leveled science readers. The series
runs from pre-readers through to fluent readers and advanced chapter books. Sharks! falls into the Level 2
range for children who are beginning to read independently. And what a perfect book to motivate those early
readers. Who wouldn't want to read that a shark can smell one drop of blood in 25 million drops of ocean while
watching a nurse shark open its mouth to gobble up a small fish? National Geographic Kids and author Anne
Schreiber have done a great job with Sharks!. They draw in their readers and keep them hooked the whole
way through. |
