How to Survive as a Shark

I have two children - one who loves reading only non-fiction, and one who loves reading only fiction (of course!). With a background in science, I realized I had an opportunity to write something that could appeal to both of them. To be entertained with a fictional story-line while learning a ton of scientific facts is the best of both worlds! By Kristen Foote (author)

There are a ton of side-bar facts that older kids can go back through and read, along with two pages of actual pictures of great white sharks and extra information in the back of the book, so there is a lot of great science packed into a relatively short picture book. By Kristen Foote (author)

This book is intended for all kids and adults who want to learn more about sharks and their life-cycles/habitats, but is specifically useful in classrooms K-5. By Kristen Foote (author)

I knew a lot about sharks, but learned so many more fascinating details when I did the research. For example, did you know great white sharks (or, white sharks, as scientists refer to them) come from eggs that hatch inside their mother? And that extra eggs are produced for the other sharks to eat before they are born for nutrition? There are so many really cool and interesting facts, all vetted by scientists currently researching sharks, packed inside this book! By Kristen Foote (author)

The primary message is that science is really cool, and it can be a ton of fun learning new facts! By Kristen Foote (author)
