Some may say it’s a dog eat dog world, but when it comes to the ocean it’s all about the sharks! Publisher First Second’s popular Science Comics series gives readers a taste of the sea in the graphic novel, Science Comics: Sharks: Nature’s Perfect Hunter.
From the Hammerhead to the Great White, full-color panels portray the world of sharks; their history, habitats, eating routines, and even their reproductive cycles are described in a scientific and somewhat entertaining manner.
Learn many different trinomial names mixed with silly jokes as you get bite-sized information from each panel going from one species of shark to the next.
A great teaser for kids who just want to dip their toe into the aquatic world of sharks, this novel explores the entertainment factors but drops all the attack hype, employing a more reverent fear rather than a frenzy of falseness for these amazing creatures.
