I like the series of book written by Emma Child.  They always present a thought-provoking topic and they provide interesting facts and data about the topic as well as include great photos and artwork that children just love.  This book about sharks is a good one for a child as it is a topic that interests them and it is filled with interesting information.  Here are some key topics that I liked:* What is a baby shark called?  A pup!* There are 368 different types of sharks but only 25 of them are known to attack people!* Sharks have senses that we don't have!* They can smell blood from 25 miles away!* They have 3000 teeth but swallow their food whole!* Some sharks are as large as a school bus and some are as small as a tennis ball!* A whale shark swallows 1,500 gallons of water an hour just to strain out the fish and other creatures in the water for food!The nice thing about Emma's books is that they make children think and learn while they are having fun.  The books are written in an interesting style and contain beautiful photos that you can touch to enlarge and look at the details.  These are wonderful books that an older child can read to themselves or that a parent can read to their younger children.This is a good quality of a children's book and I rated it as a 5 star item.
