Hark! A Shark! All About Sharks

Illustrated by Aristides Ruiz, Joe Mathieu
Look inside
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Laugh and learn with fun facts about sharks from the smallest (the dwarf lantern) to the largest (the whale shark), the most notorious (the great white) to the most obscure (the goblin), and more—all told in Dr. Seuss’s beloved rhyming style and starring The Cat in the Hat!

“In a super shark tank that is like a small sea, we will visit with sharks. Do you dare come with me?”

The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library series combines beloved characters, engaging rhymes, and Seussian illustrations to introduce children to non-fiction topics from the real world! Dive deep into the world of sharks and discover:

• why they have lots of teeth but no bones
• how their tough skin helps them swim fast and stay clean
• how they come in all shapes and sizes
• and much more!

Perfect for story time and for the youngest readers, Hark! A Shark! also includes an index, glossary, and suggestions for further learning.
