Reviews

Reading Teacher

“. . .the cover features a fierce Great White swimming face first toward its prey with jaws open wide! Right from the cover we are drawn to know who it is swimming toward. How does it track and hunt its prey? How does the prey avoid this predator?”
—The Reading Teacher

School Library Journal

“These titles focus on what makes these amazing animals such skilled predators. In both titles, the full-color photography bedazzles on almost every page, particularly in showing the owl babies. These solid additions are sure to appeal to young naturalists.”
—School Library Journal

Science Books & Films

“Great White Sharks is an acceptable addition to books designed for elementary school students.”
