It's time to learn about the sea's most feared (and most
misunderstood) residents: sharks! Owen Davey returns to nonfiction
to explain the mysteries of those denizens of the deep. Some
deadly, some not-so-deadly, and almost all just generally
misunderstood. Exciting and detailed illustrations fill the page
and educate young readers about these thrilling residents of the
sea! Delivering information with the same whimsical text and brash
illustration that saw his previous book win the affection of the
Wall Street Journal, Smart About Sharks is sure to have teeth!

move from cover to cover.
You might know that African elephants are the largest land animals
on Earth, but there's so much more to learn about these tusked
creatures. Turn the pages to find out why the grandmother is in
charge of an elephant family, and why big ears help elephants cool
down! Meet a baby elephant as it takes its first steps, and
discover how to tell the difference between an African elephant and
an Asian elephant. The book also looks at the conservation
challenges these iconic animals face due to climate change and
ivory poaching.

brains... With the fair arriving in town, adrenaline and excitement
