Giveaway #708 : Win a Sharks book - closed - winner Danielle Spencer


Sharks are some of the most awe-inspiring creatures on Earth. In this book, profiles of the fiercest sharks and accounts from those working up close and personal with the predators are presented in stunning CGI artwork for a thrilling read that will make you marvel at these incredible animals - and may well give you goosebumps !


The book is divided into four chapters : A Sea of Sharks, Killer Design, Deadly Killers and The Future of Sharks.


Whether you love or loathe them, you can't fail to be impressed (and probably scared !) by some of the pictures, showing off their fierce teeth and wide open mouths. The numerous photos let you see sharks up close, fighting and even breaking through a divers' cage !


There are also lots of first-hand accounts written by a marine biologist and profiles of many species of sharks, including the Great White, Hammerhead, Goblin, Tiger, Bull and Megamouth species. It also looks at the dangers of shark extinction and conservation. I'm not keen on sharks but I wouldn't want them to cease to exist, all the same !


It's a fascinating read, with short texts that won't put off beginner or reluctant readers. Perfect for schoolwork, or just for pure enjoyment, it's a book that you can share with your children - I found it fascinating as an adult, and Pierre excitedly read through the texts, with lots of wow-moments !
