The book is packed with 200 full color photographs plus sidebars, fact files, and illustrations about 17 shark species including Great White, Great Hammerhead, Bull, Mako, Blue, Thresher, Tiger, Lemon Shark, Goblin, Wobbegong, Dwarf Lanternshark, Cookie-cutter, Greenland, Whale, Megamouth, Frilled, and Reef, plus a few shark relatives, the Manta Ray, Stingray, Electric Ray, and Sawfish.

While similar in scope to the DK Eyewitness series, this title has a cleaner layout and more extensive reference aids - including a two page spread of size comparisons, a two page spread glossary, and index that make it highly accessible. Interspersed between the specific shark profiles are general information about sharks, including shark anatomy (teeth, skeletons, skin), shark senses, shark reproduction (eggs and babies), and shark behavior (history and attacks).Perfect for the casual browser, shark enthusiast or school researcher, this title has a little bit of something for everyone. Highly recommended and a steal at only $10. ( )
