Hornbook
"Everything works in this book— the informative yet humorous writing, the not-too-scary illustrations, and a superb layout that employs multisized text and bright color backgrounds to great effect."
School Library Journal
"The book is chock-full of fascinating information about 'sharkish' behavior . . . Davis concludes with a notion that these animals have much more to fear from humans than vice versa."
Kirkus
"Rarely do author and illustrator complement each other as perfectly as in this undersea jewel . . . the package can't be beat."
ALA/Booklist
"Davies manages to impart a remarkable amount of information about sharks in this picture-book science volume. . . . What's more, Croft's bright, humorous artwork . . . and the clever layout will make this a first choice for many young children."
