Why You Should Start Swimming With Sharks

New free photo book for children explores the fascinating world of sharks.

WEBWIRE – Thursday, May 23, 2013

Swimming with sharks isn’t as terrifying as one would think because sharks won’t attack unless they’re threatened or smell blood. There’s also no need to worry about getting close to some of them because a few sharks actually prefer to eat plankton. These are just some of the things you’ll learn from the latest free photo book for kids by James Mayrose, Sharks… Facts And Cool Pictures.

Available in Amazon for free, Mayrose’s new photo book features very interesting facts about sharks that will surprise most readers. Parents who read the book to their kids are likely to go “really?” Among them are the following:

Some sharks are vegetarians
Certain types of sharks eat by allowing water to pass through their mouths and filtering plankton and small bits of food
Ancient sharks grew to 60 feet long
Sharks can’t stop swimming because if they do, they won’t be able to breathe!
Some sharks give birth to baby sharks while some lay eggs
Shark skin doesn’t have scales because scales collect barnacles easily and hinder their movement in the water
Not all sharks are dangerous to humans. For example, the leopard shark is harmless, and even cute!
Only 20 out of the 450 types of sharks are known to attack humans

“We had a grand time reading Sharks. We laughed at the part about “loan sharks.” Really gave me the feeling that my son enjoyed the read with me. The whole underwater world is so interesting—something we never see. So it’s a nice subject to escape into for half an hour. My son loved it,” says Jenny, mother of 2, after reading the book to her 5-year old son.

This free children’s book can be very helpful introducing kids to the world of sharks. These sea creatures are mostly portrayed in a negative light in movies and television shows and reading this would change many people’s (not just children’s) perspective on sharks.

Often seen as the hunter, sharks, are suffering their own problems at the hands of humans. Many are being killed each year and unless we do something to change our opinions about them and stop hunting these animals, many species could become threatened.

Hopefully, this book can help people look at sharks differently.

After getting to know sharks with the help of this free photo book for kids, they will have the proper respect and fear for the raw power and even danger of sharks. But they will also have an understanding of their instincts, unique capabilities, and quirks.
