About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious child is in a deep-dive phase with sharks but is ready for something more creative than a standard encyclopedia. Slickety Quick uses clever, rhythmic poetry to introduce a wide variety of sharks, from the well-known great white to the bizarre goblin shark. Each poem captures the essence of the creature's personality and habits, blending scientific facts with playful language. The book fosters a sense of wonder and respect for these powerful animals, acknowledging their dangerous nature in a way that fuels curiosity rather than terror. It's an excellent choice for a young reader who loves facts but engages best with rhythm and art.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with the predatory nature of sharks. This is presented directly as a part of the natural world, not as monstrous or evil behavior. The descriptions of hunting (like the cookie-cutter shark taking a bite) are factual and not graphic or gory. The approach is scientific and awe-inspired, focusing on the amazing adaptations of these animals.
