# Slickety Quick: Poems about Sharks - Hardcover

by **Skila Brown** (Author), **Bob Kolar** (Illustrator)

**Fourteen shark species, from the utterly terrifying to the surprisingly docile, glide through the pages of this vibrantly illustrated, poetic picture book.**

From the enormous whale shark to the legendary great white to the enigmatic goblin shark to the small cookie-cutter shark, _Slickety Quick_ is a delightful frenzy of shark mayhem. Mysterious species such as the camouflaged wobbegong and the elusive frilled shark share the waters with better-known blue and nurse sharks, each commemorated in a poem by Skila Brown and illustrated by Bob Kolar. Sneaky shark facts ripple through each spread to further inform the brave and curious young reader intrigued by the power -- and danger -- of these amazing creatures.
