Many people fear the great white shark. But an even deadlier animal lurks in the world's oceans—the killer whale. What would happen if these two faced off? This book looks at the advantages and attack moves of each of these underwater predators. Charts and graphs compare and contrast the two in tooth size, secret weapons, weight, and more. A final narrative tells of an epic battle between the animals. Who will rule the ocean?

      Gr 3-7-Unlike some animal vs. animal series, this set looks at creatures that share habitats and could battle each other. For example, lions and hyenas do not often clash, but they occasionally fight to protect their young or claim food. A profile of each animal is followed by side-by-side comparisons of the competitors' "secret weapons" and "attack moves." Occasional text boxes provide information not related to the fight, such as tool use by gorillas. The final spread reveals the winner of the imagined face-off. Statistics and comparisons help to set the stage and are successfully supported by infographics, insets, and diagrams. Opposing photographs of the animals, set against dark backgrounds, capture their more ferocious aspects. Separate photos are combined to look like a real scene for the final physical conflict. These are visually impressive but could mislead readers. VERDICT Engaging choices for readers who like animal nonfiction with action.
