Great White Sharks - Booklist
Chomp! A great white takes out a seal in this book’s dramatic opening, and the exciting (but not sensational) tone keeps right on going. Dynamic, toothy photos make frequent appearances and often poke a fin or nose into the opposing page, where simple but descriptive text reveals facts about this apex predator, ranging from hunting prowess and diet to their habitat and babies. Four large infographics effectively convey information about the great white shark’s size compared to the cape fur seal, its anatomy, its range (on a world map), and a visual spread of bonus facts. Vocabulary words are printed in bold and defined in the text and a mini glossary. This selection from the World of Sharks series (6 titles) is fittingly ferocious.
