A series of double-page spreads discuss a variety of animals that either poison their prey or use fangs to kill it. One page of each spread is a vibrant close-up photo and the other presents bullet points and "Fast Facts" about size, color, food, and habitat. The book contains good photos but minimal information. Lenticular book covers add interest. Glos. Review covers these titles: Fangs! and Poison!
