MY REVIEW


Do you know someone who enjoys reading about sharks? Someone who loves to learn new facts about sharks and share them with others? Then you need to put I Am the Shark in their hands. The Great White Shark is certain that he is the greatest shark in the book, but the others each have their own claim - the largest, fastest, smartest, sneakiest, etc. Readers will learn about what makes each species unique. Joan Holub’s text has the Greenland Shark explaining that he is the oldest shark in the book and that the Tiger Shark once ate a car tire “True story.” Laurie Keller’s illustrations give each shark a bit of personality, while also showing differences in coloration, size, and other details. A helpful diagram explains the purpose of Great White’s various fins and other body parts. There is also a list of “Fintastic Shark Facts” as well as a final spread with a recap of each shark’s claim to fame. Shark enthusiasts and animal lovers in general will have the greatest time taking a bite out of this book!

  1. I would love to win this giveaway to share this story with my son and my 2nd grade students! We find sharks fascinating! We did a fun lesson with another shark book and a Google Expedition VR "Field Trip" (I teach virtually this year so we did this trip on our iPads.)
