Outside and Inside Sharks by Sandra Markle
How does a shark find its food? What is a shark's skin like? Why do sharks have to work to keep from sinking?Explore these questions and more in this exciting look at our awesome friends. Stunning color photographs and a clear, accessible text show sharks from the outside -- swimming, hunting, eating, having young -- and inside -- their bones, teeth, internal organs, and even baby sharks as they develop before they're born. There's also an Amazing Shark Facts section to help you discover even more, as well as a pronunciation guide and a glossary/index. There's no better way to get up close and personal with sharks -- inside and out
