SHARKS
Would you Rather… Have a Shark for a Sister or a Ray for a Brother? By Camilla de la Bédoyére e Mel Howells
Ages: 5-8
Would you rather have a barbecue with a great white shark, a take-away with a basking shark or a picnic with a tiger shark? Explore the world of sharks through fun and hilarious scenarios with a Would you Rather? question approach.
From the amazing senses of sharks to the different waters they inhabit, readers will decide what they’d rather eat, where they’d rather live and what super senses they’d rather have. With no wrong or right answer, there are endless possibilities for discussion and extra facts and notes at the end of book encourage the reader to come up with their own question.

Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean’s Most Fearless Scientist by Jess Keating (Author), Marta Álvarez Miguéns (Ilustrator)
Ages: 4-8
Eugenie Clark fell in love with sharks from the first moment she saw them at the aquarium. She couldn’t imagine anything more exciting than studying these graceful creatures. But Eugenie quickly discovered that many people believed sharks to be ugly and scary-and they didn’t think women should be scientists.
Determined to prove them wrong, Eugenie devoted her life to learning about sharks. After earning several college degrees and making countless discoveries, Eugenie wrote herself into the history of science, earning the nickname “Shark Lady.” Through her accomplishments, she taught the world that sharks were to be admired rather than feared and that women can do anything they set their minds to.
