FAQ

What is this book about?

A playful, rhyming story where five sharks speak directly to the reader.
Each one shares who they are, what they do and what makes them cool.

What age group is it for?

Best suited for ages 4 and up.
Some may enjoy it as a read-aloud, while others may prefer to engage more deeply with the
puzzles and games.

Is this just a storybook?

It’s more than a story. Each shark brings along a small challenge — puzzles, or playful tasks —
so children don’t just read, they participate.
You could also skip the activities altogether and treat it like a book of short stories, told by
sharks.

What kind of activities are inside?

As children move through the book, they:
● solve puzzles and “battles of wits”
● explore underwater life through imagination
● use stickers and messy art to create their own scenes
● build their own coral reef
Each activity is woven into the story.

What makes this different from other animal books?
Children don’t just learn about sharks. They hear from them, think with them, and slowly realise that what seems scary may not be scary at all.
What’s special about the sharks in the book?
Maybe some sharks are a lot like us: they get a tan, they like decorating their “rooms”, they like to party. Some are gentle, some shy, some bold. Children meet them as characters, not creatures to fear.
What skills does this book build?

Through story and play, children develop:
● analytical thinking
● problem solving
● curiosity
● empathy and perspective-taking

What comes with the book?

Along with the story, children receive:
● a sticker sheet
● a special colour-changing “magic” pencil that can be planted after use
It becomes both a reading and a hands-on experience.

Can this be done independently?
Yes. Because exploring is a fun solo activity.
Are the facts based on research?
The back of the book has testimonials by marine biologists. We have scientific papers too, that back our research.
