Elementary students who enjoy learning
about sharks will appreciate this new title on the hammerhead shark. The author provides readers with information
on the hammerhead’s identification
and physical characteristics, including body parts,
skin, teeth, and species. Information on
the shark’s migration, birthing process, and survival are touched upon. The author addresses the current status of
hammerhead sharks; since the hammerhead shark population is shrinking, two species
(scalloped and great hammerhead) have
been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature.

From the gentle whale shark to the vicious great white, sharks vary greatly from one species to the next. Twelve different titles have been published as of this review.
