A Shark (and Other Sea Creatures)
Description
Find out about how the incredible ways sharks and other sea creatures live and survive with hilarious cartoon strips.
Sharks may be incredible predators with few natural enemies but being a ruler in the ocean can still be tough! In this book, cartoon strips explore why great whites can never stop swimming, why not being fussy eaters can cause problems for tiger sharks and why getting in a fight with a giant squid can really suck. Alongside the cartoon strips, we explore topics such as the variety of shark species, food chains, habitats and threats, to build a picture of life as a shark and other deep-sea predators.
It's Tough to Be is a series of fun educational books that help children aged 7 plus understand how animals adapt to survive in different habitats. Each book features hilarious cartoon strips and incredible science facts.
Titles in the series: A Tiger (and other cats) / A Shark (and other sea creatures) / A Black Mamba (and other snakes) / A T-rex (and other dinosaurs) / An Eagle (and other birds) /A Giant Panda (and other bears)
