Shark!: The Truth behind the Terror

48 pp. | Capstone | September, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7368-9547-7 $$22.60
(4) 4-6 High Five Reading series. This book for reluctant readers provides an accessible, but superficial, introduction to sharks' physical characteristics, habitat, defenses, and predatory habits. The final two chapters look at shark threats to humans and vice versa. The somewhat rushed text is accompanied by small captioned color photos--some clearly intended to sensationalize the topic. Directory, reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
