From the tiny cookiecutter to the great white, the world’s oceans are home to hundreds of species of marvelous and mysterious sharks. There’s the giant whale shark – longer than two school buses but gentle enough to swim with humans; and the swell shark, which can wedge itself into a hideout and then swell so that it cannot be pulled out. There are sharks that lay eggs and sharks that have live babies. Some are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, and some have teeth bigger than your fist. Join acclaimed author Laurence Pringle on a fascinating exploration of the wide variety of fish classified as sharks. Together with Meryl Henderson’s beautiful and realistic illustrations, young readers will be taken on an unforgettable journey deep under the sea.
