An unusual commute to school includes crossing the border and getting breakfast from a street vendor while waiting 2 hours in line.

This book can be used in the classroom to teach both science and literacy skills. Students can learn about animal adaptations, food chains, and ecosystems while exploring nonfiction text features such as captions, diagrams, and labels. The book can also inspire activities like comparing sharks to other predators, writing facts about sharks, or creating illustrations showing how sharks survive.

Neighborhood Sharks presents clear, exciting information about great white sharks near the Farallon Islands. The language is vivid and engaging, making complex facts easy to understand. Roy‘s words and illustrations capture the power and beauty of these incredible ocean predators.

Every fall, the great white sharks return to hunt the seals that live and breed around the Farallon Islands, just 30 miles from San Francisco

“The ocean is a system, and understanding it and keeping it healthy is vital for both sharks and us.”

This book could be used in the classroom to engage students in nonfiction texts, as many young readers are interested in sharks. This could be used in a science unit on ecosystems and animal adaptations.

Published in 2014, a nonfiction book. Katherine Roy uses vivid language and watercolor illustrations to explain the lives of great white sharks. She introduces topics like hunting and anatomy. This book is well-suited for upper elementary readers, especially those interested in ocean life.
