In the ocean, sharks are near the top of the food chain. If a shark is hungry, nothing can hide from it or escape it. Sharks have the same five senses as humans do, but they have an extra sixth sense. Often misunderstood as nonstop attack machines, sharks are actually powerful predators who carefully use each of their six senses to track down their prey. This book invites readers to join the hunt with these deadly and magnificent creatures!
Written by children’s nonfiction veteran John F. Waters, Sharks Have Six Senses is swimming with fascinating facts paired with Bob Barner’s beautiful, mixed-media artwork. This picture book includes a Find Out More section with additional shark facts and web research prompts about shark conservation efforts, as well as a glossary of marine biology vocabulary. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. George H. Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
