Shark Week comes annually to television, but at the New York Aquarium, it’s pretty much Shark Week year round. These creatures are getting top billing at this event, presented by the aquarium and Jet Blue Airways to promote reading. At 3 and 4:30 p.m., during sea lion shows in the Aquatheater, Mary Pope Osborne will read from “Shadow of the Shark,” the latest book in her “The Magic Treehouse” series; she’ll also stamp copies for young fans at 4. (Books will be given out after the readings, while supplies last.) Young actors costumed as the books’ heroes, Jack and Annie, will visit as well. Other activities will include chatting about sharks with aquarium educators, making marine-themed crafts and visiting tables displaying shark artifacts, like teeth.
