Our oldest daughter and our youngest loved this little book. It is factual and funny! Our little one would like everyone to know that the Lemon shark is her favorite! She also would like it to be known that she checked with everyone and she is sure the Megalodon is very extinct. For some reason, that is the only shark that had her concerned! She, like all the kids, are very aware that people are more a danger to sharks than sharks we to people!
We are very thankful to National Geographic for all the work they do to save the sharks, educate the public, and for sending us these books to review and share with all of you!

I love shark week. A fun way to learn about them.
Nurse sharks are my favorite.
I think my favorite shark is the whale shark. The pure massiveness is overwhelming!
I think hammerhead sharks are cool!
I love zebra sharks!
I don’t really have much knowledge on sharks but I’d say that my favorite are the small sharks that you can put in aquariums at home!
I think the hammerheads are my favorite because they are terrifying but have such an interesting head shape that is fascinating.
i lived on cape cod most of my life and love great white sharks..just didnt like knowing they were swimming in the same ocean lol.
I personally don’t like anything in the ocean but my son is a huge fan of all things sharks and fish lol! His favorite shark is the Megladon but since it is no longer with us he says his favorite “now” shark is the Great White.
I would say the tiger shark.
