This is a brilliant combination of fact and opinion, photographs and illustrations, literal and metaphor, serious and humorous. A significant amount of new information is made manageable through a comfortable pattern from page to page that shows and tells where in the world the animal lives, its physical descriptors and peculiarities, size, life span, and diet, its life cycle, a unique feature, and finally, the charming what-if comparison between that animal and "you." For example, "If you could sting like an Australian box jellyfish, you'd be a crime-fighting superhero!" Current and completely engaging.
If you could have any ocean animal's superpower, whose would you choose?

What if you woke up one morning, and you suddenly had the superpower of an ocean animal? If you could shapeshift like a giant Pacific octopus, you could squeeze through even the smallest gaps. If you could snap your claws like a coconut crab, you could slice through sheets of metal. And if you could sniff like a great white shark, you'd be able to smell treats from miles away!With zany illustrations and amazing true facts, What If You Could Sniff Like a Shark? launches a brand-new series from bestselling creators Sandra Markle and Howard McWilliam. The What If You Could...? books have all the appeal of the What If You Had...? titles, but focus on animal superpowers and feature a fresh new design.
