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 these denizens of the deep. Some are deadly, some not-so-deadly, and almost all are generally misunderstood. Exciting and detailed illustrations fill the pages and educate young readers about these thrilling residents of the sea!

Delivering information with the same whimsical text and bold illustrations that earned his previous book the affection of the Wall Street Journal, Smart About Sharks is sure to bite!
