A useful introduction to sharks, which examines many species not typically covered in series nonfiction. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)
Four volumes provide information about sharks as well as profiles of specific families and species. Shark Life describes physical features and behaviors that are common to most sharks, with examples. The other three titles highlight between nine and 11 particular types of shark. Four paragraphs of text and a 'bite-size fact' inset are arranged neatly within each spread. Scary Sharks features a 'Silky Shark' section, which describes general physical features, with separate text blocks detailing speed, scales, teeth, and birth. The data highlights unique and fascinating traits, including the shark's size. One large photograph and two smaller insets offer visual support. Layouts include multiple images and text blocks without appearing cluttered, though there are instances where the main photograph is partially obscured.
