Whenever we visit an Aquarium the Sharks are always a big draw for Monkey. For me, they conjure up images of the film Jaws, from my childhood. Perhaps it was time for both of us to learn a little more about these creatures and Sterling Books came to our aid. Please Be Nice to Sharks is now available in the UK in hardback and is full of interesting facts about these animals.
In Please Be Nice to Sharks we learn about 14 different species of Shark, along with a Manta Ray. Neither of us had heard of a Bamboo Shark before reading this book. The photography is stunning and Monkey could easily recognise Sharks we’ve seen before, such as the Hammerhead. He was fascinated to learn that a Lemon Shark exists, he is a greengrocers son after all!
As well as a Shark Fact list for some of the different species, each shark is described in a way that engages with children. There’s also a strong message throughout from Mark Weiss in Please Be Nice to Sharks about conservation, which I appreciate.
Who knew there was such a thing as a Wobbegong Shark? He lives on the ocean floor and is so well camouflaged. It’s a fascinating book, which has certainly engaged Monkey. Priced at £9.99, I’ve included my Amazon Affiliate link below for your information.

I just love dolphins, but I don’t like to see them in captivity and I hate those ‘swim with the dolphins’ places, I just don’t think its right. Dolphins swim around 100 miles a day, just don’t see how they can do that in captivity.
My favourite is the Dolphin but I hate to see them in captivity I just don’t think it’s right and don’t get me started on those ‘swim with the Dolphin’ places. I love to watch them in the wild, but only seen that on wildlife programmes. Dolphin swim around 100 miles a day, how can they do that in captivity?
