Shark Week 3


Book Description

Guns don’t kill people, sharks do! They can kill you by water, or fire, and they can bite you. They come in all shapes and forms. They dwell in the sea, the sand, in volcanoes; they can be ghosts or revenants, toxic or electrical. They’re whatever they need to be for a successful Shark Week marathon. In this third edition of Shark Week, I review 87 shark movies and rank them from awful to amazing. Watch them in order, they will only get better!

Swimming with Sharks


Book Description

2017 Amelia Bloomer List, Early Readers Nonfiction This picture book biography follows the life of Eugenie Clark, the Japanese-American scientist, researcher, and diver, who became famous as "The Shark Lady" for her groundbreaking discoveries about shark behavior. Before Eugenie Clark's groundbreaking research, most people thought sharks were vicious, blood-thirsty killers. From the first time she saw a shark in an aquarium, Japanese-American Eugenie was enthralled. Instead of frightening and ferocious eating machines, she saw sleek, graceful fish gliding through the water. After she became a scientist—an unexpected career path for a woman in the 1940s—she began taking research dives and training sharks, earning her the nickname "The Shark Lady."
