The World of Sharks

Dive deep into the ancient world of sharks

Did you know sharks are among the oldest creatures on Earth? They swam through primordial oceans long before dinosaurs existed. Many legends surround these animals with their fearsome, sharp teeth – but how dangerous are sharks really?

Discover how sharks have survived whilst countless other species have gone extinct, learn about their unique teeth, their remarkable lateral line organ, and their extraordinary sense of smell. Explore the many different species that exist today, from the smallest to the most mighty.

However, many sharks remain largely unresearched to this day – their habitats are too deep in the sea for humans to reach. This book is just the starting point for exploring so much more about these incredible ocean predators.

Written by wildlife expert Darcy Dobell, who advises organisations on ocean protection, and brought to life through the detailed illustrations of Becky Thorns, whose nature-inspired artwork captures the adventure and mystery of the underwater world.

Suitable for children aged 8 years and up.
