Description
Meet 14 cool sharks (and one manta ray) and see why it's important to BE NICE TO SHARKS! Though they're often portrayed as vicious man-eaters, sharks actually kill fewer than 10 people per year. Yet those myths cause real harm: many species are being hunted to extinction, with as many as 100-200 million sharks being killed each year. This humorous book humanizes the incredible shark through breathtaking, original, underwater photography along with incredible facts about these amazing creatures in the wild-sending kids a crucial message about conservation in an irresistible format.
