There's no doubt about it, children are fascinated by sharks! Whether it's their sleek bodies or the power they command in the ocean, sharks continue to be a favorite subject of children of all ages. In Sharks, young readers will delve into the fascinating world of sharks, learning how they hunt, why they are being threatened, and why they need camouflage. Each volume combines large, easy-to-read type and spectacular photographs of the curious varieties of sharks. This rare and thorough look into the world of sharks will compel and inform every reader.Sharks are really misunderstood creatures. In fact, the shark is most often the prey of humans, who hunt them mercilessly for sport, often in shark-killing tournaments held around the world, with no other intentions than to cut off their fins and put the wounded sharks back in the ocean to die. Shark attacks do happen on occasion, but the good news is there are measures that can be taken to avoid them, saving attacks on both humans and our misunderstood friend, the shark.
