Venom

Bought two copies for my child's classroom from teacher wishlist. Large size book with lots of color pictures to go with the text. The pictures are actual photos and very good quality. Depending on the child, will be either very cool or squeal inducingr, or maybe both. Dropped a star as one of the bookcover edges was a bit ragged, but given going to a 4th grade class where I'm sure it will receive much more handling, did not return.

A very well presented introduction to the science of Toxinology for the budding scientist or novice. Surprisingly comprehensive, but yet written with simple explanations for the young reader new to this subject. Despite its simplistic explanations it addresses a complete overview., all the while avoiding some of the most commonly seen misconceptions and even terms often miss used by many professional scientists are presented here in their proper usage. The book although written for the young budding scientist, there are very few people who upon reading will not find themselves learning or at very least refreshed by reminding of key points of that world of Venomous and poisonous animals. I am particularly impressed with its teaching perspective. It is bound to impress upon the student the amazing diversity of these animals, with all their struggles, adaptations in the “Predator-Prey Arms race” I am proud to have a played a small part and have my name included [email protected]

Beautiful, colorful, glossy pages with lots of pictures. Easy to read, perfect for curious kids. Got it for my 9 yo.

The boys had already checked this book out of library several times, and wanted their own. I should have got two as they both want it at the same time.Great Book! Very informative about things to avoid that can kill you, or make you very ill.Illustrations are very good.

This is a GREAT book. My 4 year old learned so much about venom, and a great deal about the creatures that produce venom. It is great for kids up to about 16 yrs.

My kids love this book, and I don't get tired of reading it to them. This book is packed with information about venomous creatures around the world. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Book for everyone of all ages

Great photos. Many interesting facts. Book written with fun voice. Would be a good teaching example of how to use voice in non fiction writing. Kids will love it.
