Sharks are the predators of the sea. This book gives us a three-dimensional view of their body. The book talks about their skeletal system, cardiopulmonary system, reproductive system, digestive system, liver, sensory/ nervous system, muscular system, and dermal system. Each internal system is designed to layer-by-layer using a die-cast model, and the children will get the actual view of it.
