Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater Creatures by Mike Lowery - HIGH

Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater Creatures by Mike Lowery, 123 pages, NON-FICTION.  Scholastic, 2020, $17.


Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content G; Violence: G


BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL:  HIGH


Mike Lowery has written and illustrated this nonfiction book covering oceans, sharks, and extreme marine habitats. 


Lowery’s style is wild and fun but a bit frenetic.  It’s like doodling on speed.  It should appeal to young shark fans with its cool facts and colorful layout.  This book doesn’t have to be read page by page, and there is a table of contents that helps organize the information.  The drawing guide at the end can be navigated by even the most art challenged and there are even deep sea jokes.  A great way to introduce shark facts before swimming in the ocean.
