A detailed, perfect introduction to sharks for children and adults. This would make a nice addition to a home library and an amazing reference book. Plenty of illustrations to help along the way. I learned quite a bit. I was blessed with a free advance review copy, and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

I loved this book! It had so many interesting facts that I didn't know about sharks already. I am obsessed with Sharks.

My son (5) and I read this together and he absolutely loved it. The colors, the facts, everything was so perfectly geared towards his interests and he was so engaged and asking so many questions.

Wow! Me and my son read this and he was obsessed with every page. He loved every moment and even helped name al the sharks in the book. We have downloaded the dinosaur one to read tomorrow which we are so excited for.
The book had just the right amount of information to keep it educational but also interesting and kids engaged, the pictures of the sharks were so good and kept us wanting more.
Can’t wait to read the dinosaur one with my son, also more from this author!

Like a very similar (and very similarly successful) sister volume concerning dinosaurs (I'll leave it to you to work the title out), this fits into a crowded market but must be said to do it with distinction. Neither a "my first" book about sharks nor something more serious, ie it still gives some of the beasts speech bubbles, we get a fair bit of science and examples of the species here. How they deliver babies, how they breathe and eat, how the huge ones are perfectly docile and how very few of them will ever attack us – this ends with a look at how they're kept at risk, hence the demand we retain our interest in them. In that regard this will do no harm whatsoever – a strong four stars.

This is a great children’s book to teach children all about sharks. What they are, the different types and the amazingly cool things they can all do! Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest feedback!

Sharks! Sharks! Sharks! is well-illustrated picture book that tells you everything you want to know about sharks! The big ones. The small ones. The odd ones. The well-known ones. The illustrations are very well done. Words that might be too difficult for your child are explained well in the text, with the illustrations or the vocabulary list at the end of the book.

Sharks! Sharks! Sharks! by Susan Martineau is an enjoyable fact-filled picture book for any child interested in sharks. While there is a lot of information between the pages, Martineau breaks it down into bite-sized pieces that are easy for readers to digest. As a mother of a three year old, reading everything on each page would get overwhelming to my little one. With how the text is broken up on the page, we’re able to select a couple of different bits of information off each page each time we read it. However, a more advanced reader would be able to consume more information through their reading and work up their reading stamina, making it a fantastic book for different leveled readers and pre-readers.

Among the pages and beautiful and clean illustrations of sharks and other sea life is a plethora of information ranging from different species of sharks, their anatomy, habitats, and social behaviors to name just a few. One of my personal favorite pages was one that dispelled the myth that sharks are evil, human-eating monsters and explains how humans are often just mistaken as sharks’ natural prey. This explanation goes along with illustrations and diagrams that help young readers see just how similar humans look to seals in the water. Each page has at least a couple of text features that allow this book to also be used as a great mentor text for nonfiction units.

Sharks! Sharks! Sharks! is a must-have book for any nonfiction collection for children preschool through middle school. Readers will be able to enjoy and learn from the illustrations and grow with the book as they learn to read and extend their stamina.

It is an engaging, fun, and delightful book that is big on facts. It teaches kids all they need to know about sharks, encouraging them to feed their scientific interests. It’s an educative, fun, and engaging book.

Sharks! Sharks! Sharks! is a book that is sure to delight young shark enthusiasts! My youngest daughter is a shark lover and this book would be perfect for her. I love that it begins with some general information about sharks and some science behind the parts of the body and then moves into facts about specific types of sharks. This book covers MANY types of sharks, so young readers are sure to see at least one of their favorites on these pages. Additionally, this book shares information that dispels some common myths about sharks and informs readers about other unique and interesting facts about sharks.

This book would be a great addition to any library and will be very popular with early elementary readers.

Thank you so much for the advanced copy of Sharks! Sharks! Sharks! This nonfiction read will be perfect for students that are interested in ocean life and sharks. I learned quite a bit about sharks that I did not know just from reading this book! Glow in the dark sharks?! So cool! From a reading teacher perspective, I love the text features of the table of contents and the special shark words at the end of the book. The illustrations with labels were really well done. I will definitely be adding this to my classroom library and requesting our librarian to order it as well!

Even as an adult, I learned a lot with this book. The illustrations are lovely, and it's long enough for even older children. I loved this, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a short read or for all kiddos

The artwork is great! As a lifelong devotee of Shark Week, I love anything that seeks to teach children about these amazing creatures and dispel all the scary things they may hear in pop culture.

This book was incredible! My students loved learning so much about sharks. They really liked the cover and the illustrations were beautiful AND informative. The illustrations were realistic and engaging and the facts were very thorough. There were even things that I learned myself as a teacher! This would be an excellent addition to my classroom library. It is different than anything else I currently have in my ocean book bin. Thanks to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a colorful celebration of sharks. So many interesting facts about these Apex predators. I feel that this book could be a good resource to add to my boys science homeschool curriculum. It’s always a plus to add books which make learning fun!

Sharks, Sharks, Sharks, is an informative book that kids will love. The information in this book isn't what you would normally find in other shark books. The illustrations are wonderful and the writing is great. This book is one that you could read about to your child and will keep their attention.
