Product Description
Of all the world's 400 shark species, Great Whites are one of the most feared and studied mammals of all time. Uncover one of the world's most fascinating and feared predatory creatures in this innovative 3-dimensional book. Uncover a Shark takes you on a whole new learning experience, layer-by-layer to provide children with an in depth and all encompassing understanding of the subject and its anatomy. This 16-page book examines the alluring Great White in detail. First the basic elements--their cartilaginous nature, teeth, fins, and gills--then more complex systems are detailed--the cardiopulmonary systems, digestive system, and the acute sensory systems. Each organ or system is intricately placed inside the book to provide a three dimensional view of its size in relation to the rest of the body. Each page is filled with interesting facts and detailed illustrations that describe each part. Did you know that engineers study sharks in order to design better ships and rockets since the sharks body is well-suited to gliding through the water? Or that a great white can also eat 10 tons of meat a year but often go several days in between meals. Explore these questions and many others as Uncover a Shark takes you on a journey you won't forget! Ages 8+

 Love these for learning and fun September 10, 2008
I have purchased several of this series and they are fun and educational. My son loves them and shows them to his friends.
Another Great Book August 15, 2008
I havne't personally seen this book since I had it shipped to my granddaughter who is 7 years old. She LOVES it, she has especially enjoyed the different layers of the body that the book shows, she is learning from the book. Parent's were happy with the quality of the book.
Fascination galore!! September 17, 2007
My son received this book as a gift and it has provided many hours of study and fascination with sharks. He took it to share one day in his kindergarten class and it was a hit!! All the parents wanted to know where I got it so they could buy similar items for their kids. I refered them to amazon or ebay. The body pieces are fragile though. We've lost the muscles and his skeleton is loose, but it's only because it's been used to death. We can still read about the sharks. You could glue the pieces back in. Either way, it's a great book!!
Great model! October 22, 2006

Although it says that this book is appropriate for kids aged 9-12, our five year old loves it! Each page shows a layer of the sharks body and explains how it works. There is also information about other sharks in general. The 3-D model captures our son's imagination. He particularly thinks it's funny that the shark has tires in its tummy. We highly recommend any of the books in this series.

This book has a three-dimensional model of a shark and lots of colorful pictures. It teaches you all about the Great White Shark.The most interesting part of the book is about the muscular system of the Great White Shark.
It is a really cool book!
