Uncover a Shark

by David George Gordon, Davide Bonadonna (Illustrator), Christian Kitzmïller (Illustrator)

Overview

This fascinating 3-D presentation provides the reader with an in-depth, hands-on exploration of a great white shark.

In Uncover a Shark, a detailed, three-dimensional format gives the reader a hands-on exploration of the most feared predator of the seas—the great white shark. This unique "model" can be deconstructed and rebuilt layer by layer, system by system, just by turning the page, so the reader can see how each part of the shark's body is connected to the others. By combining a 3-D model with informative text and illustrations, Uncover a Shark helps children understand how sharks have come to rule the world's oceans.

Editorial Reviews

Covering a period of 450 million years, the reign of sharks has been three times longer than that of the dinosaurs — and 100 times longer than our own! There were sharks in our oceans long before the first creatures crawled onto land, and even before the earliest insects took to the sky.” — from the book
