Camilla de la Bédoyère.
This book places a shark in human situations to give readers an understanding of the animal's features and capabilities, including its ability to leap out of the water to catch prey. A sense of humor permeates both the text and accessible cartoon-style illustrations (e.g., the shark plays tennis to demonstrate its "big fins" and "powerful tail"). "Fact file" and a map are appended.
