(3) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Bob Barner. Although this is a straightforward book of information, it's built around an engaging narrative that introduces the other five shark senses, as well as the headline sixth one, electroreception. Almost every page features a different shark species illustrated in paper collage and pastels that suggest the underwater environment well (even if they lack detail). The afterword has additional information. Websites. Glos.

(4) PS Illustrated by Bob Barner. Lewis's singsongy verses about opposites are, for the most part, effortless and quite clever. For example, "Slow is slow and fast is fast. / Something just went whizzing past!" is accompanied by an illustration of a speedy bee zipping past a sluggish snail. Barner's vibrant animals are a mix of pastels and cut, torn, and handmade paper, edged in black tempera.
