It s time to learn about the sea s most feared (and most misunderstood) residents: sharks!Owen Davey returns to nonfiction to explain the mysteries of those denizens of the deep. Some deadly, some not-so-deadly, and almost all just generally misunderstood. Exciting and detailed illustrations fill the page and educate young readers about these thrilling residents of the sea! Delivering information with the same whimsical text and brash illustration that saw his previous book win the affection of the "Wall Street Journal," "Smart About Sharks "is sure to have teeth!Owen Davey is a freelance illustrator, living and working out of Leicester, United Kingdom. He graduated with a First Class BA in Illustration from Falmouth University. Davey's work has been published in every continent (except Antarctica), including picture books in the United Kingdom, America, Australia, Germany, France, Portugal, China, and Korea. He has worked for some impressive clients, including the "New York Times," Microsoft, and Orange. This is his first book about sharks."

Bookish gift #4: for my 7 year old nephew, who wants to be a reader but hasn‘t found his reading-thing yet. I‘ve gone for funny and facts! He chose to go to an aquarium for his birthday so I know he‘ll love Smart about Sharks 🦈 (in fact it‘s so good we got a copy for our two too!) #raisingreaders

julesG Mister Gum is hilarious. That's what got my son reading. 6y
JillR My eldest read it with his dad and I would hear them both guffawing laughing! Hoping my youngest will give it a go soon :) 6y

I love the illustrations and fun facts in this book about sharks! Needless to say, my two shark-loving boys (the 6yo loves lemon sharks and epaulette sharks like the one above, the 4yo declares his love for shortfin mako sharks, great whites and nurse sharks) adore this book.

CaitZ I love that a 4 and 6 year old know the differences between sharks and have favorites. I'm a lot older than that and can't tell one from the other 7y
mandapants Love those illustrations 7y
RealLifeReading @CaitZ I've definitely been learning a lot from kids' books 😄 7y
