review 1: Seymour Simon's "Sharks" was written with the intent of informing readers about the many characteristics of sharks, in hopes of raising awareness and decreasing fear of sharks. Simon talks about the fact that sharks rarely bite humans and when they do it is because they are confusing the humans for seals or sea lions. This book is full of information about sharks appearances, mating habits, diets, births, etc. This book also includes a lot of the scientific vocabulary.This book also includes a lot pictures of different sharks, not just great whites or tiger sharks, like are normally seen.I think this book would be a great resource for a research project that students could complete during a lesson about animals. This book will help broaden students vocabulary, as well ... moreas their knowledge base on sharks. This book would be best in 3-5 classrooms because of the more complex vocabulary terms and different concepts that it addresses. This book would also be a good one to have in your classroom library because many students would benefit from and enjoy reading it.
review 2: I actually observed a first grade student read this book and it was a perfect book for that grade level. He really liked the book and he was able to comprehend the information. The pictures provided were good because they support the text very well. I was surprised about how much information their are about sharks. I (21 years old) learned so much about sharks just by reading this elementary school level book. Amazing what is available to kids today. less
