Over 350 million years, sharks have evolved into the most successful hunters to roam the seas. This educational and entertaining coloring book focuses on 25 species of shark, ranging in size from the relatively tiny cookiecutter shark (1-1/2 feet long) to the monstrous whale shark (up to 65 feet).Carefully researched and skillfully rendered line drawings depict such fascinating species as the snakelike frilled shark; the thresher shark with its long, scythe-shaped tail; the rare and bizarre goblin shark; the dreaded great white shark, one of the most fearsome predators in the sea, and the swift and graceful blue shark. Also depicted are some of the shark's closest relatives: the spotted ratfish, sting ray, common skate, Atlantic torpedo ray, Atlantic guitarfish and smalltooth sawfish.A fact-filled caption accompanies each of Llyn Hunter's vivid illustrations, providing the sharks' common and scientific names, habitat, behavior, size, color, distinguishing features and other information. Further enhancing the book are a general introduction and a dramatic double-page illustration showing all 25 sharks drawn to scale. Educational and informative, Sharks of the World Coloring Book doubles as an excellent and inexpensive source of royalty-free illustrations for artists and designers.

Fantastic. These books are the best I have found to find pictures to use as templets or stencils for designs to paint on silk.
I got this coloring book for my 6 year old nephew's birthday because he loves sharks. I think this book is better suited for children who are a little older as it has a lot of fine detail in the drawings. He still liked it, though.
Better than I expected. Good information in addition to many types of sharks to color. Kids will get a thrill but so will 'sharky' adults. Includes some rare sharks like Goblin, Megamouth too. Basic coloring, nothing intricate, which I find a plus.
Great coloring book for the preschool or young school age child to allow the child to identify the various types of sharks and to see realistic colored pictures of the various sharks. My six year old grandson loves this coloring book along with a puzzle of the sharks which I also purchased from .com. I recommend this coloring book.
If you're scared of sharks you can face your fears with this coloring book- because a pink shark floating in purple water with pink teeth just isn't as frightening any longer. Who knew that coloring the killers of the deep could be this relaxing? Yes your marker collection will ruin the paper so spring for a set of colored pencils and you'll enjoy the book more.
Great book for educational or adult coloring purposes. Too bad the pages are not single sided. I copied onto cardstock and completed several pages with copic markers. Looks amazing. I highly recommend this book.
Purchased for shark loving grandkids in anticipation for Shark Week on Discovery. They loved it, many pages and very detailed images, which is great for their mom (my daughter) becuase it keeps them occupied for longer periods of time to color and perfect their work!
8 year old needed coloring books for free time in class. Then pictures are beautiful and this book also contains information about each shark. I like that as he colors he is also learning. Usually I buy him 99 cent coloring books but I'm glad I spent a little extra.
