Description
Simple text and photographs introduce young readers to nurse sharks.
Quick Summary
This book brings kids face-to-face with one of the ocean's most unusual sharks that sleeps all day and "crawls" along the seafloor like a sneaky underwater cat. The up-close photos show nurse sharks snoozing in cozy caves and lounging in weird positions, making these typically scary-looking creatures feel like lovable underwater pals. If your kid likes ocean animal books like "Sea Turtles" or "Sharks," they'll dive right into this. Perfect for kindergarten through second graders who are starting to read on their own and love learning about wild animals.
