Sharks

There are over 400 known shark species living in the Earth's oceans. Some live in shallow waters, while others live deep down below. Some are fast and some are slow. In collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, Sharks introduces nine of these unique creatures. From the blue shark to the whale shark, this book displays these special creatures in a graduated tabbed format that shows off their various sizes and shapes.
