Sharks (Science for Toddlers)

Product Description Created in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, this beautiful board book lets you dive in and take a bite out of SHARKS!   More than 400 shark species swim in the Earth’s oceans: some live in shallow waters, others far below, and some are fast while others are slow. Sharks introduces nine different sharks to your budding marine biologist—from the five-foot-long blue to the school bus-sized whale shark. Thanks to the book’s graduated tabbed format, kids can really see and compare the various size and shapes of these special animals.
