Sharks, the Super Fish

Helen Roney Sattler. Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Books, $16 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-688-03993-6

Sattler and Zallinger, who collaborated on Baby Dinosaurs, have created the ultimate source book for young readers in search of facts about sharks. With chapters like ""Smart Fish'' and ``Never Make a Mako Mad!,'' this work covers more than 100 kinds of sharks, from teeth to tail. Precise pencil drawings highlight special features: head shapes, vision, how sharks breathe. This is a smooth-reading reference book; readers looking for something beyond an encyclopedia's paragraph on sharks will find this rewarding. (9up)
