"An attractive series for kids intrigued by animals in the wild." —Booklist

Set over a 24-hour period, meet deadly tiger sharks, baby lemon sharks, and gigantic basking sharks in this kids’ nonfiction book about the coolest predators in the ocean.

Dive under the sea to follow the lives of individual sharks as they hunt, hide, and play their way through their day. Marine biologist and shark conservationist Carlee Jackson cleverly weaves the story from gargantuan whale sharks to tiny epaulette sharks (who hunt in rock pools!) in the style of a nature documentary. She also includes gentle science explanations perfect for future biologists. Witness incredible moments including:

• A great white shark escaping a pod of orcas
• A giant hammerhead hunting stingrays
• A nurse shark asleep in a coral reef

Packed with animal facts, Sharks (A Day in the Life) encourages kids to look at sharks in a new light—not just fearsome hunters but endangered animals who play a key role in the ocean’s ecosystem.

Also available: Bugs, Big Cats, Horses

A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.

Goodreads review by Haley on August 24, 2022

This book is beautiful. I was entranced and learned SO MUCH, I can't even imagine the joy an 8 year old who actually is passionate about sharks would experience while reading.

Goodreads review by A on September 05, 2024

Carlee Jackson is a marine biologist and the author of this book, which is pretty awesome! This book is unique in that it is told chronologically over the course of a day; from 8AM to 11PM, readers learn what different species of sharks around the world are doing every hour. The book includes the sh......more

Goodreads review by Mary on August 20, 2024

Because this book introduces many kinds of sharks and has a middle grade reading level, it will not appeal to students writing animal reports about a specific species. Readers who are interested in learning about sharks in general may find this presentation interesting. The author has organized the......more
