Sharks and Other Deadly Ocean Creatures (DK Children's Visual Encyclopedias)

Great illustrations, kids love this book

This book has held my five year old's attention for hours. We've also given it as a gift. It contains everything from prehistoric sharks to current sharks and other sea creatures.

My 3 year old loves sharks, and this is perfect. Nice pictures, short, interesting paragraphs and facts. I like that it immediately begins with fun creatures; some books waste pages on preparatory info my kid doesn’t care about. Makes me feel like I’m getting my money’s worth. We’ll love this for years to come I think.

I bought this book for my 5 years old son which is a fan of sharks. It has amazing photos and it is just right for him. Every time that he has a new toy shark, he looks in the book and says "hey mommy, I found it", and put a sticker on the page. The book includes other sea creatures, that is a plus. Also includes a short description of the shark or sea creature and some facts like predator power, size, distribution, and diet. It also has a reference section that shows the shark family tree (including those sharks that are already extinct), the shark life cycle, habitat, and a glossary.

We have had this for at least a year, and my 5 year old is constantly looking through it and reading about ocean creatures. It has constantly been his favorite, and he can tell me so many different facts about sharks and other creatures. It has nice big, colorful pictures and gives great descriptions and facts for each animal featured.

Nice educational gift, bright pictures.

I purchased a used good condition copy which had little wear. I could have done with out the name written on the inside cover as it was a gift but may opt for new next time. Over all an easy read with colorful detailed pictures for those shark lovers.

My son loves ocean animals, sharks in particular and this encyclopedia was absolutely perfect for him. We've been reading this every single night before bed, and he's already memorized more than half of it and he's 4 years old! I appreciate that the scientific name is also provided, as sometimes some of the animals are referred by their scientific name rather than their given name. I actually enjoy this book as well since it's full of information and I love to learn to keep up with my son!

Thank you.

Christmas present for my grand daughter 6 years old

Sehr gut

You will be smarter than a walnut after reading this book! The goblin shark is pretty funny but also scary because he’s still a shark.

Excellent first book for a little shark lover. The pictures are simply jaw-dropping. Very close up, very well lit, fantastic optics, good colours. Some of the information is a bit... sensationalist perhaps? but that's what most kids are after, and that's what'll get them started anyway. It has info on many other dangerous and/or fascinating creatures, some of them look simply lovely in the pictures (killer and sperm whales... O_O ). The size is not quite A4, but a bit smaller. I was somehow expecting a bigger book and was disappointed at first, but nevermind. The book is great and does tick all the boxes.
