(4) K-3 Sharks series. This series uses short, easy-to-read sentences to provide mildly interesting facts about different shark species' appearance, habitat, diet, and young. There's some visual redundancy--many of the large stock photos of each shark species look very similar and the series is heavily templated--but new readers who like sharks will enjoy tackling the books solo. A few additional facts are appended. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Sharks titles: Angel Sharks, Blacktip Reef Sharks, Blue Sharks, and Bull Sharks.
