Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-27 00:00:00 Khary Bethea Giant Shark: Megalodon, the Super Prehistoric Predator by Caroline Arnold is a great book to read and learn about sharks and Megalodon. I had the opportunity to read this book to a second grader when I was babysitting, this student loves sharks, especially reading about them. The book is very informational about Megalodon and gives some really cool facts about the prehistoric predator. This book would be an awesome read aloud and supplement to an ocean unit in science or if sharks were the theme of the week. The book is pretty long and there are usually one or two paragraphs on a page but the illustrations are captivating and interesting. I think that this would work in grades 2-5 as a read aloud spanning a few days. Some of the content and illustrations might be scary for a K-1 classroom but I think the teacher could make the final decision about its appropriateness. Overall, I think elementary students would enjoy learning about the ocean and sharks, especially since Megalodon is a relatively new scientific discovery. After the read aloud, this book could lead into a discussion or art activity about other creatures that we may not have discovered. Children could design their own prehistoric predator and present them to the class. In my future classroom I would like to implement a lesson on sharks and the ocean, since I am interested in them.
