Genre: Informational text Grade: 1-3 The pictures in this book are great。 They are up close of the sharks and the certain parts of the body that is being explained in the text。 This book has a content page and glossary。 There is also a fun story kids can fill in the blanks with the new science words they learned。

This book is a great book of many National Geographic books， it can easily grab any child’s attention and make them want to learn more。 This book is about sharks and tells us all about the way their body is built， their teeth， how shark pups act， and so much more。I gave this book 5 stars because I truly think kids can learn a lot from these National Geographic books。 As well as the information provided I also like the fact that it has definitions and I think that is great for helping kids learn This book is a great book of many National Geographic books， it can easily grab any child’s attention and make them want to learn more。 This book is about sharks and tells us all about the way their body is built， their teeth， how shark pups act， and so much more。I gave this book 5 stars because I truly think kids can learn a lot from these National Geographic books。 As well as the information provided I also like the fact that it has definitions and I think that is great for helping kids learn new words。 。。。more

The National Geographic book on Sharks by Anne Schreiber is perfect for students who are curious about this animal。 This book goes into great detail about sharks and their lives。 It explains their body parts and their environment。 This book is great for students who can read independently。 They can even test their reading skills by taking the quiz that is found at the end of the book。

Summary:This book is all about sharks。 It describes different kinds， how they are born， how they feed， what they eat， types of teeth， and so much more。 It tells interesting facts about all different kinds of sharks。 Analysis:I think this book is interesting。 It seems like a couple photos are a little graphic for young children， but it definitely is a cool read。 It has all different kinds of facts about sharks， and it gives a basic introduction to them for anyone that could be interested。 Classro Summary:This book is all about sharks。 It describes different kinds， how they are born， how they feed， what they eat， types of teeth， and so much more。 It tells interesting facts about all different kinds of sharks。 Analysis:I think this book is interesting。 It seems like a couple photos are a little graphic for young children， but it definitely is a cool read。 It has all different kinds of facts about sharks， and it gives a basic introduction to them for anyone that could be interested。 Classroom Ideas:This could be an interesting read when talking about creatures that live in the ocean。 It can even be used for shark week and introducing a few kinds of sharks and facts about them。 。。。more

Well， this informational text was supposed to be a lot better than it was。 It is a very easy text， for kindergarten to 2nd grade students。 I would incorporate it into a science lesson for oceans and then tie it into a geography lesson as well。 It never fails when you begin teaching about the oceans， kids immediately want to talk about sharks， so it would be a great text to talk about sharks with them。 It has some very big vocabulary words and they are a great way to go into some scaffolded lesso Well， this informational text was supposed to be a lot better than it was。 It is a very easy text， for kindergarten to 2nd grade students。 I would incorporate it into a science lesson for oceans and then tie it into a geography lesson as well。 It never fails when you begin teaching about the oceans， kids immediately want to talk about sharks， so it would be a great text to talk about sharks with them。 It has some very big vocabulary words and they are a great way to go into some scaffolded lessons and use some graphic organizers to help your students learn the text a little better。 But part of me feel like the vocabulary is too much for the text level， although the author does define the words。 It is not really a wow book， just because it is kind of boring and touches on too many things just a little bit and not too little a lot， if that makes sense。 。。。more

This book talks about different kinds of sharks。 First it starts by explaining that sharks are fish， but they are not like most fish and what makes them different from most fish。 Then it talks about shark pups and how some of them are born。 Then it goes on to talk about their teeth， it explains that different kinds of sharks have different kinds of teeth and it describes each of the types of teeth。 The book then talks about how there are 375 different kinds of sharks and which ones are the scari This book talks about different kinds of sharks。 First it starts by explaining that sharks are fish， but they are not like most fish and what makes them different from most fish。 Then it talks about shark pups and how some of them are born。 Then it goes on to talk about their teeth， it explains that different kinds of sharks have different kinds of teeth and it describes each of the types of teeth。 The book then talks about how there are 375 different kinds of sharks and which ones are the scariest， fastest， smallest， and weirdest。 It also mentions the bad part of sharks， which are shark attacks。 I gave this book 5 stars because I personally love sharks。 I also liked that there were picture examples for each detail they were describing。 There were also arrows that pointed to some of the things that were being described and the names of each kind of shark that were labeled near them。 。。。more

This National Geographic book is all about sharks。 The book goes through and gives specific information about all the different types of sharks， the different characteristics each type of shark has。 It also shared where different types of sharks are located within the ocean water。 This book was pretty easy to read and had a lot of good， kid-friendly information。

Sharks is a book all about shark facts。 There are over 460 different species of sharks， these different types of sharks have different appearances， sizes， locations， and water depth。 Sharks have been around for 450 million years and have changed overtime， read the book if you want to know how they have changed。 I really enjoyed this book， but I did not think I would。 Sharks was filled with interesting facts， and I learned a handful of information。 The book was well written and jam packed with fa Sharks is a book all about shark facts。 There are over 460 different species of sharks， these different types of sharks have different appearances， sizes， locations， and water depth。 Sharks have been around for 450 million years and have changed overtime， read the book if you want to know how they have changed。 I really enjoyed this book， but I did not think I would。 Sharks was filled with interesting facts， and I learned a handful of information。 The book was well written and jam packed with facts。 The pictures helped make the text come alive on the page， for it helped me picture what the book was describing。 This book would be a very helpful resource in the classroom since it is nonfiction。 My first thought was to read the book and have the students make a vendagram 。 The three sections would be; what I already knew， what I learned， and what I still want to know。 The book covered a ton of facts， but I like the idea of students researching even more facts that the book did not cover。 。。。more

Fun， informative， and engaging。 It's meant for children， but the facts are well presented and adults can enjoy reading it， as well。 It's also great for brushing up on your foreign language skills when you're a bit out of practice。 Fun， informative， and engaging。 It's meant for children， but the facts are well presented and adults can enjoy reading it， as well。 It's also great for brushing up on your foreign language skills when you're a bit out of practice。 。。。more

This is an informational book。 I would read this book to early elementary students。 This book is obviously all about sharks。 This book talks about what sharks do and gives facts about them。 This would be a good book to read when doing a unit about ocean animals。

Outstanding！ It gives a good amount of strong， scientific information， but is also filled with Shark related jokes。 I know my nephew will adore this book because it is super nerdy in a serious and silly way。

Sharks by Anne Schreiber is a nonfiction book that children can read from ages five and up。 It has not won any awards， but it provides kids who take an interest in ocean's creatures， basic information about sharks。 For example， their habitat， food supply， and different types of sharks。 I gave it five stars because I felt this simple book explained so much information I didn't even know。 I think the simplicity of the book will be helpful for children。 I also enjoyed the side texts or questions as Sharks by Anne Schreiber is a nonfiction book that children can read from ages five and up。 It has not won any awards， but it provides kids who take an interest in ocean's creatures， basic information about sharks。 For example， their habitat， food supply， and different types of sharks。 I gave it five stars because I felt this simple book explained so much information I didn't even know。 I think the simplicity of the book will be helpful for children。 I also enjoyed the side texts or questions asked in the text。 I think it makes learning more interactive， which has been proven to make kids improve their learning skills。 The book also touched on the fear of a shark attack and had a first hand encounter on someone who was attacked by a shark but assured readers that it is rare for a share attack to occur。 Anne Schreiber did a good job explaining the general information on sharks and really makes me wish she could write college level text books because I felt that this book did a better job explaining sharks than most documentaries I watched about ocean's creatures。 Hence， I rated this book five stars。 No complaints！ 。。。more

This book is great for young readers with under water interests。 It gives an in depth look at the king of the sea and has a lot to teach readers。 The photos and words in the book give a lot of information on the anatomy of these beasts， their environment， and some of their habits as carnivores。 It is an excellent choice for any children able to read with interest in sharks。
