About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is oscillating between a deep fascination with predators and a lingering fear of the dark or the unknown. It is the perfect tool for transforming 'scary monster' anxieties into grounded scientific curiosity. By presenting sharks through a lens of biological wonder rather than cinematic horror, it helps children process their fears by replacing myths with fascinating facts. Seymour Simon, a master of science writing for children, uses high impact photography and clear, accessible prose to explore how sharks breathe, hunt, and survive. This book is ideal for ages 5 to 9, serving as a bridge between picture books and more complex science texts. It encourages a mindset of environmental stewardship and respect for nature's complexity, making it an excellent choice for building confidence in young readers who crave real world knowledge.
