This book gives them a wealth of information written in an easy, fascinating manner with drawings and photos."" --Israel Drazin, Author ""This book is engaging and exceptionally well written. David McGuire has captured the essence of why sharks are so unique in a scientifically accurate way. The perfect balance between scientific terminology and storytelling analogies that kids can connect to deeply. David's passion for shark biology and conservation is contagious. Parents: this book will not only deepen your kids' love for and understanding of sharks, but it will also transform their interest into ocean conservation advocacy. A must-read for biologically and environmentally curious students of any age."" --Gretchen C. Coffman, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography, National University of Singapore ""Want to learn more about swarms of dogfish that hunt in a pack of up to 1,000 sharks? Or about megamouth and goblin sharks? McGuire's Sharks for Kids fires readers up with amazing photos and well-written descriptions that are informative and fun. This book will be a great addition to any science or sustainability class from 4th grade to college freshmen. Leave Sharks for Kids on your coffee table, and you will learn amazing facts, like Greenland Sharks have a chemical in their blood that acts like antifreeze.
