Sharks have always been very interesting to me, making me really want to read this book. I would love to be given the option to read this book to learn more about these fabulous creatures!

This book was full of interesting facts about sharks. Most of them I didn't know, which made this book even more interesting. I hope National Geographic will continue to make more books like this.

I've read this book already, does it count? Anyway..this is a really cool book! I've watched EVERY Shark Week for the past 3 years, and I have to say, they are SO interesting!! After I read this book, I showed my shark-loving friend, and he loved it too! Taught me everything I wanted to know about Sharks, and contained little factoids that were very interesting to me and always had made me more infatuated with the facts as I went on reading! Thanks for such a great book, Discovery, and continue with these, please?

Cool book on sharks!!! It had many fun facts about the different species of sharks and their characteristics. The photography was amazing and the detail you can see from the pictures is astounding. It must be terrifying to take those pictures!

I love National Geographic books and sharks!!!

Do you love reading about sharks? Or just love learning in general? If so, this book is for you! This book has amazing pictures of sharks and really cool information. Something that I learned is that there are approximately 500 species of sharks! That's a lot when you think about it! This book is just overall amazing and you should definitely read it!

Ah! I remember my old town's library had this book. I read it for a school project, and now I re-read it online and saw it was a pretty cool book! I really love animals (bugs included) and I love to get my hands on books about sharks. My favorite shark is either a hammerhead or a tiger shark (love the stripes!)

I cant believe i found this in my library but when i did i freaked out it didn't really live up to my expectations but it was fine. If someones really into facts than this book would be great but if not it might(personally)get confusing. It does have many neat facts, and cool pictures.

i have not read this but i would love to i now some fun facts about sharks i have a book on them they are cool and some are big and small like the tiger shark it is in the middle so thank you for your time

I read this book because I love sharks and I learned so many cool facts from it, including how they hunt and the different species of sharks. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves marine animals and sharks.
