Let's Go, Great White Shark

Let’s Go, Great White Shark by Mason Tolhurst and Robin Kermode is a rhythmic, ocean-spanning picture book that blends science, storytelling, and myth to celebrate one of the sea’s most misunderstood creatures.

Narrated by Tangaroa, the Māori god of the ocean and all sea life, the story follows the great white shark from pup to powerful adult, revealing fascinating facts about its life cycle, hunting skills, and vital role as a keystone species.

Through dramatic encounters, including clashes with orcas, and moments of wonder like breaching at dawn, the book emphasises balance, respect, and guardianship of the marine world.

With poetic language and a strong environmental message, it reassures young readers that the great white shark is not a villain, but a majestic protector essential to healthy oceans.
