  • Awesome saucesome. Awesome saucesome.
Format: Paperback
I have not read it yet but..๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘. It came in AWESOME condition. Who ever delivered this is awesome. Yep. I love sharks and know a ton about them. I'm 11. I am going to be a marine biologist. This will teach me some new stuff. It is super smooth. My fav shark is the tiger. People the great white shark is not the most powerful, it's the tiger shark because its teeth are much sharper and it can break sea turtles shell. Great white can grow up to 18feet and tigers can grow up to be 21 feet. So yeah. It is so true, if you dont believe me well,poop. Also whoever's gave it one star. You are not smart. This is great.๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿณ. You will find me in lots of reveiws. ... show more

  • Great book..
Format: Paperback
Great book but I received it damaged and am very disappointed in the condition. The bottom corner of the book looked like it was dropped or pealed off. Not sure if it will stay attatched. Sad...

  • Great book and great value.
Format: Paperback
I bought this as a gift for my son, but it intrigued me almost as much as him. I did not think it would be so comprehensive, and I love the many photos. It is a great addition to his other, often more expensive, books on marine life.
