"A good beginning look at the shark's anatomy, use of 6 senses to hunt prey. Not a complete life cycle book, but a good, high interest start."

"Delightful stories told in first person, with additional information given in boxed asides. Each animal discusses its anatomy, diet, and activities. The digitally prepared illustrations show lifelike images of the creature at different stages of its life and in its natural habitat. Labeled diagrams show parts of the body and explain their functions, and "Fun Facts" sections offer more details. While the pictures and text about the hammerhead shark make it clear that it is a hunting-and-eating machine, it is not drawn to frighten; it is merely doing what comes naturally. The art has a gentle softness, with backgrounds in watery shades of blue and green, but the texts make it clear that these are not cuddly, huggable creatures. These books are perfect for young animal lovers."
