People once thought that sharks weren't very smart. It turns out those
people were WRONG! Wise-cracking sharks set the record straight in this
funny, fact-filled book for young shark lovers.
Sharks have their own way of thinking. And their way of thinking has
made them one of the top predators in the ocean. Sharks can sniff out
injured animals over great distances. As hunters, they use their special
electro-sense to zero in on hidden prey. They have taste buds in their
razor-sharp teeth. And, like people, sharks are playful and curious, and
they can learn and remember.
In Are You Smarter Than...A Shark?, discover what makes a shark a
shark, and what makes them different from other fish. Learn about
countershading, mermaid's purses, dermal denticles, and more. Explore a
shark's watery world and meet their finny friends and weird relatives.
Five "Test Your Shark Smarts" activities let you test your senses
against a shark's senses. Can you identify a secret ingredient through
smell alone? Is your hearing better above or below water? How do your
teeth compare to those of different sharks? Who would win a tasting
contest?
Best yet, Are You Smarter Than...A Shark? has humor. Punny jokes
and cartoon illustrations, along with robust information, make this
a book you'll want to dive into again and again.
