Illustrated by
Gennady Spirin.
Fourteen diverse animal species claim to be the world's deadliest creature. Each animal declares its name in capital letters, and then briefly provides clear, descriptive, and compelling evidence as to why it deserves the title. Close-up spreads done in tempera, watercolor, and pencil heighten the fearsomeness of each creature. Readers are invited to debate which animal is most deserving.
