Horn Book Review

After finishing this book, readers will be spouting information about the dangers of being kicked in the chest by a kangaroo, outrun by a hippo, and cornered by a black mamba snake. Vivid nature photos show the deadly creatures in action. Silly jokes ("Q: What do whales like to eat with peanut butter? A: Jellyfish") and "Toxic Tidbit" sidebars maintain readers' attention.
