Product Description
If you think today's sharks are fearsome, wait until you see what swam in the oceans hundreds of millions of years ago! Creatures with snouts like saws, and spiral jaws. Sharks so large they could swallow whales whole. Timothy Bradley's vibrant illustrations and razor-sharp prose bring these ferocious fish and their tamer relatives to life with scientific detail. Learn how they survived catastrophic events that completely wiped other creatures out, and see which of their strange adaptations can still be seen in sharks today.

A good learning reference to primitive sharks. In fact, i suspect this is the only children level reference to this subject.

Comment:
Tim Bradley's PALEO SHARKS has become one of the most popular books in my middle school science classroom. Student comments include: "Awesome illustrations" and "I never knew there were so many kinds of ancient sharks". Tim's book will teach students and adults a new respect for this ancient ocean dweller that has reigned longer than the dinosaurs but has received less attention.

As an elementary school teacher, I look forward to using Tim Bradley's new book, Paleo Sharks, in my classroom. The colorful, action- packed illustrations grab student attention and provide the motivation to explore the non-fiction genre. The side panels are an added bonus, featuring facts and graphics and connections to tie into student background knowledge. I plan on using this book as a browsing box selection for my non-fiction reading and writing unit this year.
