100 Most Feared Creatures on the Planet

One of my son's favorite books! Broken into groups of similar animals, then 5 are rated from being less deadly to most deadly. For example its not just a section with "snakes" but several different sub-groups of snakes - there is a section for vipers, a section for sea snakes, a section for snakes with fangs that don't fold back, a section for cobras, a section for constrictors, etc... Wonderful pictures, lots of information that keeps my 6 year-old's attention for hours. I love that he is learning about new animals and new parts of the world and then sharing what he learned with me so we can have a discussion about the animals. This book encourages him to think beyond just what is written...for example, he recently was reading about ostriches being deadly (in the flightless birds category) and asked why an ostrich would attack a person. His only experiences with an ostrich previously had been at the zoo where they were docile and almost domesticated (new vocab words for him!). I was then able to explain to him the difference between domesticated animals and wild animals, how something becomes domesticated, why we would want to raise ostriches on a farm and where they naturally live.Can't say enough good about this book and this series. Even as an adult, if you enjoy watching Animal Planet you will love reading this book!

My 7 year old brother loves this, always carries it in his backpack, and picks this for his bedtime reading every night. While it gets a bit boring for parents/elder siblings who must regularly hear the lists of animals recited, it's great for kids.

My 5th grade son has had a love for non fiction books ever since he began to read. The love the Almanac, Ripley's Believe It OR NOT, and Guinness Book of Records. To that point, this book addresses 'scary' creatures on land, sea and air. He enjoyed this and passed it on to his friends.

My 10 year old son has enjoyed the "100 Most...." series since we first discovered them when he was in second grade. Whenever a new version comes out, we have to order it. He reads and re-reads these books regularly and loves to "enlighten me" with their "interesting" factoids. Definitely a great series for boys!

This non-fiction book on dangerous animals on the planet is full of animals I never even heard of! I recommend this to kids and teens who are interested to learn about the outside world.

My son loves it. Loves to read.

My 7 year old daughter loves this book it is one of her favorite books and it encourages her to read. The book has a lot of color and detailed descriptions of all sorts of animals, insects, and our favorite... PARASITES!

My 6 year old son loves this book (and the rest by Anna Claybourne). We've given them away at every birthday party this year & its been a great hit.

My son loved this book - really pleased
