Its clear photographs, helpful diagrams, and short chapters make it perfect for early elementary schoolers (ages 6-8) who are beginning to read independently or who enjoy learning facts.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book touches on predator and prey dynamics, mentioning that hammerheads eat other sea creatures. This is handled in a direct, scientific, and non-graphic manner, presenting it as a fact of nature. The approach is entirely secular.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 6 to 8-year-old who is fascinated by animals, particularly sharks or other 'weird' creatures. This child is transitioning to independent reading and loves nonfiction books with strong visual aids. They are inquisitive, enjoy learning vocabulary, and are more interested in 'how' and 'why' than in a narrative story.
