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.--Debbie Tanner
