From the publisher of bestselling nature books for nearly 35 years comes a new series for early readers. Kids will want to collect them all. Each is fully illustrated with four color photographs and includes basic natural history with fun facts.

There are more than 400 different kinds of sharks. Sharks live in all of Earth's oceans: ⢠The largest shark is the whale shark. It can grow to over 12 metres (40 feet) long. That's as almost as long as a school bus. ⢠Sharks are older than dinosaurs. The first dinosaurs appeared about 240 million years ago. The oldest known sharks appeared more than 420 million years ago. ⢠A shark's sense of smell is so good that it can smell a teaspoon of blood in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. ⢠The hammerhead's wide-set eyes let it see better.
