Rechlin draws a link between the ocean and the land, so you will even see a dinosaur in the booK! Who doesn’t love a book with sharks and dinosaurs!? We love his use of the word “coexist.” Sharks live in the ocean. It is there home and we must learn to respect and appreciate that. We can and must coexist with animals on the planet and this is a very important lesson for kids of all ages. Rechlin also writes, “ sharks deserve so much more than our fear.” Powerful words and a beautifully told story. This is a must for any shark enthusiast, science teacher or library!
