Prehistoric Sharks and Modern-Day Sharks (Johnston, Marianne. Prehistoric Animals and Their Modern-Day Relatives.)

Summary: A great book for those kids who want a little more than most
Review: I bought this book for my four year old daughter, and neither of us were disappointed. In addition to some really top notch illustrations, the book presents information about sharks and their prehistoric ancestors in an easy to follow, logical progression. Difficult words and names are highlighted, and provide a chance for parents to help their children with their reading and phonics skills. All of the information provided in the book is superb; it is up to date,and coincides with the latest scientific data available about these amazingly diverse creatures, covering from the first primative sharks to the more bizarre species such as Hybodus and of course, the mighty Megalodon.I highly recommend this book for the budding young scientist, and for parents that want to expose their children to more than Pokemon, Barney, or other typical children's fare.
