Sensational Sharks Summary

Sensational Sharks by Prof. Tim Flannery

'[Tim Flannery is] in the league of the all-time great explorers like Dr David Livingstone Sir David Attenborough

Sensational Sharks is the first book of a brand-new picture-book series from Professor Tim Flannery, one of the worlds leading scientists, explorers and conservationists, and his daughter Emma Flannery. It deep-dives into some of the most beloved and surprising creatures around the world!

Have you ever heard about the cookie-cutter shark, which bites out cookie-shaped morsels of flesh from much larger animals than itself? Or the goblin shark, which was thought to have become extinct 100 million years ago until a living specimen was discovered in 1898? And did you know that the whale shark has jaws the size of a 12-year-old child?

Come along on an exciting expedition with the world-renowned scientist and explorer Tim Flannery and his daughter Emma, as they spotlight some of the worlds weirdest and most fascinating creatures.
