Overview
Overview
Are You Smarter Than a Shark? explores the fascinating world of sharks through punny jokes and fun illustrations.
"More people are killed each year by falling coconuts than by shark attacks."
"Yeah. But your chances of getting bitten in two by a shark are much greater than by a coconut "
Sure to pique the interest and tickle the funny bones of young shark lovers, this lively and fact-filled interactive book has the element that's been missing in other shark books--humor.
The cover features an interactive spinnable "reveal wheel," showing cartoon images of sharks doing "smart" things, such as reading a book, wearing a lab coat and goggles, writing an equation on a blackboard, and typing at a computer.
The text, some formatted as word balloons, is spoken by caricatures of familiar species of sharks. Callouts and sidebars add supporting information. Robust back matter with a glossary and makes this the perfect fit for the school curriculum.
Throughout the book, activities such as "How Does Your Sniffer Compare to a Shark's" and "Feel the Vibrations" allow you to compare your experiences with those of a shark.
Shark Smarts Test example:
Take the Sniff Test
1. The next time your family orders a pizza, ask them to add an extra secret ingredient, like onions, sausage, or anchovies. Ask them to not tell you what they ordered.
2. When the pizza arrives--but before opening the box--take a moment to breathe in and out through your nose. Now make a guess--what's the extra topping?
3. Open the box. Were you right?
speech bubble] SHARK 1: "I could tell what was on that pizza as soon as the delivery driver opened their car door."
speech bubble] SHARK 2 (sniffing): "Pineapple? I LOVE pineapple "
speech bubble] SHARK 1: "No you don't. You're a shark."
By the end of this book, you'll have a new appreciation of these majestic, and threatened, creatures.
