Reviews

The great white swims menacingly across the front cover then opening the book,  the end paper reveals the animal looking at the reader with a threatening pair of eyes and lots of teeth. Kids will love it and turn the page over to read the rest of the book. What an opening to this most informative of texts and revealing of images! Full Review
