Deadly!: The Truth About the Most Dangerous Creatures on Earth

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Neal Layton. No punches are pulled here--this is gory-but-fascinating information about predators and prey and the adaptations that assist in their survival. Davies commendably balances spectacle and science with rich factual detail and admiration for the diversity and realities of life. Layton's cartoon illustrations skillfully lighten the tone, as animals in the throes of death or dismemberment often provide humorous asides and jokes.
