When it comes to wild animals, everyone knows that there are certain things you just don't do. It's clearly a bad idea to tease a tiger, pull a python's tail, or bother a black widow spider. But do you know how dangerous it can be to pet a platypus, collect a cone shell, or touch a tang fish?
Some creatures have developed unusual ways of protecting themselves or catching prey, which can make them unexpectedly hazardous to your health. In this dynamic and fascinating picture book by Steve Jenkins, you'll find out what you should never do if you encounter one of these surprisingly dangerous animals.
Amy is a keen children’s book nerd and spends a lot of time reading and reviewing picture books with her toddler, Fenrir. But it’s not all colourful pictures! Her passion is getting kids reading, and her life's mission is to get the right books in the right hands. Ask her for advice or recommend something to her and watch her eyes light up!
A picture book illustrated with paper collage images full of facts on eighteen animals that should not be harassed, poked, cuddled, stared at or stepped on. Some animals may look cute and cuddly, but many of them pack a powerful venom, or fiercely protect themselves. Even smiling at them can be taken as an aggressive gesture. This book has a simple message about how to behave around wild animals and for anyone interested in the dangerous side of nature. Suitable for ages 4+.
