Many are not as fearsome as sharks are portrayed in media. I love that this comic series is geared toward educating people on the importance of conservation. ( ) Lots of very cool pictures of sharks. Lots of cool facts of sharks, which I could not remember for an hour because they were mostly factoids without a framework to make them memorable. My take away was, there are Very Many Kinds of sharks. So many kinds that you can fill up a whole book just listing them. Every time you think there's going to be a story line, suddenly "Here's another kind of sharks, this subclass of sharks has this enormous number of species, here's a lot of pictures of this kind of sharks with a single sentence about each representative species." This is like a catalogue of sharks, but it's not as interesting as catalogues from firms like Lee Valley or Lands End: you don't want to go out and engage with every single shark on the list. Fabulous book for a shark-engaged child with a passion for memorizing shark trivia! I love the Science Comics series. I was amazed at the amount of information contained in this graphic novel. Not only were there a lot of facts presented, there were also some great illustrations. There were many facts, information about different species and some history about evolution that I learned from reading this book. The graphic novel layout was appealing and skillfully done so that information was both pictorially and textually available. I can imagine using this resource with reluctant readers as the pictures would draw one in with their dramatic presentation and encourage the reader to find out more. The non-fiction narrative is tied together with a story about a fictional group of shark seekers, which leads into a discussion about the bad rap sharks have gotten over the years. The classic movie Jaws kicked off shark paranoia back in the mid-1970s. The book talks about most shark bites being accidental, as humans are not a normal food source and they really do not like the taste of us. Readers get a history of sharks from the prehistoric era until the present, with a look at shark physiology. migration patterns, variety, and eating habits. The book also contains a shark family tree and a glossary of terms. Overall a great book for those reluctant readers and those interested in sharks. This book will definitely whet their appetite for further research and information. A wonderful addition to a school, classroom, public or family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. This latest entry in the Science Comics series is a winner. It is information-packed, and for those students who want to really learn about these animals, this will be a go-to resource. While the drawings pale in comparison to the many hi-gloss photo books on the subject, they are very detailed and will teach and inform. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
