Great White Shark by Claire Saxby, illustrated by Cindy Lane - ADVISABLE

Great White Shark by Claire Saxby, illustrated by Cindy Lane. NON-FICTION, PICTURE BOOK Candlewick, 2023 $19. 9781536225037 

BUYING ADVISORY:, EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A shark roams the ocean looking for food and a place to birth her babies. 

Originally published in Australia, American children may need to understand that swimming north from Australia is toward warmer water. Lane's illustrations are gorgeous! Even the one showing the shark's scary teeth. I liked that it was a story, with different text for the information. Quite engaging - shark-loving kids will read and re-read.
