How Do You Know?
How can you tell a shark and a toad? It’s isn’t easy. They look similar and they live in the same environment. But if you take a close look you can see how the two creatures are different. This fun, informative book provides all the tips and hints young readers will need to discover the differences between sharks and dolphins.
Research Notes
“I’ve written about dolphins lots of times, but this was the first time I’ve focused on comparing them to sharks. My research included a trip to the New England Aquarium to see the great white sharks in their giant tank. I also pulled out the journal I kept during my trip to the Galapagos Islands. During that amazing trip, pods of dolphins swam in our boat’s wake as we cruised from one island to the next. “While I didn’t share my firsthand experiences in the book, my notes from these adventures certainly informed my text.”
