Shark Week, by Martha Brockenbrough, is a nonfiction book with everything you need to know about sharks.(hence the title) Since sharks are often mistakenly classified as man-eating monsters, there is a portion to why sharks aren't as dangerous as they seem. As well as sharks' habitats, the author also writes what different types sharks eat. For instance, whale sharks eat plankton, while others eat fish and other marine mammals. There is also a section to shark senses. If you haven't already heard, sharks have an sixth sense along with our five main senses. The sharks' extra sense allows them to feel electricity and movement in the water. This is helpful when hunting because injured prey might be thrashing in the water, and this sixth sense allows the shark to locate where the prey is. Overall, I think the author did an amazing job writing this book.
I rated this book a five because it is full of fun facts and interesting information about sharks. This book also includes a ton of pictures to get a feel of how spectacular sharks are. ( )
