Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean's Most Fearless Scientist (Women in Science Books, Marine Biology for Kids, Shark Gifts)

Eugenie Clark's story is fascinating and inspirational, and the illustrations in this book are gorgeous. There's even a little bit of fun shark science to learn in this book too.It's also really nice to have a book about a scientist who's half Asian and female - if there's another children's book out there with that type of representation, I've yet to find it. One of the little girls we gave this to was super excited to see someone like her in a kids book!

Well-liked by my 4th graders, who had to choose someone to research and write about for women's history month. This is one of my favorites in my classroom library.

Love, love, love this book! I have two toddler boys and they adore learning about these women and their discoveries.

We really enjoyed all the brightly colored illustrations, the fish, the sharks, & even Eugenie herself. Learning about how Eugenie Clark changed the way sharks are studied, observed, & even lived with was inspiring & we are excited to further by starting our own shark study at home… & at the aquariums & beach this summer.

Beautiful illustrations. Great inspiration for little girls. I had a good talk with my daughter about how girls can do all the same things as boys.

My five-year-old has asked for this at bedtime for the fifth night in a row. I love providing her with nonfiction books about strong females. She’s an animal lover, too, and has learned a lot from this. She’s also likes the lifeline at the end.

The book itself is great, but it arrived damaged. A few pages were torn, which is unfortunate because I was going to give my daughter this book as a birthday gift (I bought several books about the ocean). I hope Amazon will send me a replacement (free of charge) and secure packaging so that this does not happen again.

My daughter (3) and I love this book! it promotes girls fighting against career stereotypes and going after whatever dream they have regardless of others opinions. This book has great information on sharks and shows that girls can do anything they set their mind to. It was factual, entertaining and gave so much insight but was very age appropriate. I would absolutely buy this book as a gift for friends after owning it myself. I want more books like this!
