Review: Lots of Facts and Good Pictures
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book really exceeded my expectations. Most shark books cover 5-6 species and leave it at that, or they name a bunch of them, but never tell you enough so that you could go to a shark exhibit and tell the difference when you see them. This book really delivers on how to tell the different species apart. Some of the "Who Am I?" questions I only got right by process of elimination, but a lot of the questions had clues in the descriptions that could tip you off to the answer. (Example: I have a large mouth... and the answer is Megamouth Shark). Challenging enough for adults and kids could easily become experts if they played it enough, just as so many kids become experts in dinosaurs. I'm not overly fond of the cover, but it's on Kindle, so it isn't like it's going to be staring at me on the nightstand or from the coffee table. The interior pictures are MUCH better. I will read this again and again, whether my kids like it or not!
