NONFICTION

Big Sharks, Small World

by Mark Leiren-Young
Orca. Oct. 2022. 20p. Tr $10.95. ISBN 9781459831544.
COPY ISBN
Baby-Toddler–Leiren-Young makes sharks accessible to even the youngest child. Each spread identifies a shark and gives a fact while showcasing a photo. Two sets of pages together form a rhyming couplet. What really sets this book apart is the photography. The pictures of the sharks are so compelling that even non-shark lovers will find themselves gazing at the well-composed and vivid photos. This will be a book that will be requested often!
VERDICT This board book will be fascinating to budding ichthyologists and their caregivers. A good choice for a library needing nonfiction books for the young.
