Arvustused

"For those with an inquiring turn of mind, this can only serve to enhance the experience of learning about sharks. . . . The book is delicately illustrated with watercolours."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "The book really stands out from the crowd. Whilst the reader will learn all about the life cycle, evolution, habitats and threats of these charismatic creatures, they do so in a way that really engages the reader. It tells the story of sharks with more than a dash of literary flair. . . . Any shark enthusiast will enjoy this book. . . . And it is a joy to read." * Scubaverse *
