Brilliant rich in detail book, about dangerous creatures that live upon our planet, i found this book very interesting, and learnt so much from within its page, this book is perfect for me, to find new characters to places within my own Ocean World science-fiction series. It’s factual and arms the reader with proper facts to avoid them feeling scared of dangerous beasties, instead to respect the diversity and skills of each animal. Children across key stage two can enjoy looking at the pictures in this book, but as the text is reasonably challenging, I would recommend this book for children aged nine upwards.From lethal beauties to killer beasts, from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures have in common is that they are all deadly. Another marvellous episode is the first ascent of the Venezuelan sandstone massif, Tepuis, and sleeping out on the rockface for five days.
