Sharks have their own way of thinking. And their way of thinking has made them one of the top predators in the ocean. Sharks can sniff out injured animals over great distances.

And, like people, sharks are playful and curious, and they can learn and remember.

In Are You Smarter Than…A Shark?, discover what makes a shark a shark, and what makes them different from other fish. Learn about countershading, mermaids purses, dermal denticles, and more. Explore a sharks watery world and meet their finny friends and weird relatives.

Best yet, Are You Smarter Than…A Shark? has humor. Punny jokes and cartoon illustrations, along with robust information, make this a book youll want to dive into again and again.
