Great Book

"Sharks" is a great book that goes in depth with the life of a shark. It explains the many uses of sharks. For example, sharks are used in "Shark Fin Soup" and are also used in a variety of products like makeup. Also, "Sharks" explains the many varieties of sharks such as the Short Fin Mako shark. It explains how the Short Fin Mako is unique in its own ways. This book also explains how the number of sharks in the world is decreasing rapidly. Fishing has been a huge industry and sharks are a prime meal. So from the deep blue sea to the dinner table, "Sharks" is an all-around great book.

Completely "kid friendly" reading.
