Have you ever wanted to have a close encounter with a shark? Some of us may never have the opportunity to experience the thrill of seeing a live shark, but National Geographic Kids offers us the chance to see beautiful images of sharks in their natural habitat. While on our honeymoon, we visited an aquarium in Cancun, Mexico and I'll never forget getting to "pet" a sand shark for the first time. While it was a very small shark it was the first one I touched and I'll never forget the experience. These fascinating creatures bring lots of excitement and fear so during the week of shark frenzy is the perfect time to help your children learn more about sharks with National Geographic Kids. Learn more about their newest title and enter for a chance to win all six of these JAWsome books!
The Ultimate Book of Sharks by internationally acclaimed marine photographer and National Geographic Explorer Brian Skerry is an underwater adventure like no other.

Beyond the feared fins and terrifying teeth, readers will learn what its like to swim with these amazing fish, how they live, what they eat, their superhero-like senses and better understand why these graceful, confident, perfectly sculpted predators are also vulnerable animals that we need to protect.

In 2017 he was awarded the Nikon National Geographic Explorer of the Year and his work has appeared in the New York Times, Smithsonian, National Geographic Magazine, and the Washington Post, among others.
