Zusatztext

"What a treat this pocket-sized compendium is, packed with fascinating facts and peppered with delightful drawings .. . . This is the perfect book to dip into, but beware, wherever you alight, you will be drawn in and find yourself reading a further half a dozen entries. . . . The last word must go to the
glorious illustrations. Marc Dando is in a class of his own. He is by far the best shark illustrator around.
