Hi! I am Great White Shark, and if you get this book, you'll read all about ME--the greatest shark in the sea!

Not so fast! Greenland Shark here, and as the oldest shark in this book, that makes me the greatest.

Did someone say fast? I'm Mako Shark, and I'm the fastest shark in this book! Eat my bubbles!

Wow, I'm Hammerhead Shark. You don't need my special eyes to see that there are lots of great sharks in this book. Sink your teeth into it now!

"The overall tone is humorous, but information is prominent as well. Keller's digitally enhanced illustrations are a delight.” —Booklist

"Young shark enthusiasts diving into this fact-filled and humorous book can expand their knowledge with the suggested readings and websites appended; the book also includes a double-page compilation of “fintastic” shark facts.” —The Horn Book
