I have bought the entire set of "Who Would Win?" books for my 6-year-old grandson. They are by far his favorite books and he has learned so much about different types of animals from them.In each book the author cleverly sets up an imaginary encounter between two animals as an excuse for providing a wealth of information about the two animals. On facing pages comparing the two animals we learn such things as the scientific name for each, where they live, how they bear young, the size of their bodies and teeth, and, in the case of the Komodo Dragon and King Cobra, the strength of their venom and how it is delivered. We also learn about the other two poisonous lizards and about other snakes. The books are really just packed with information. Then comes the moment of the encounter between the two where we learn who wins! At the end there is a checklist to review which animal had an advantage in different features (such as body size, teeth size, venom, and stealth). My grandson will turn back to that page if he can't remember, but usually he does.What is amazing is not only that my grandson loves these books, but that he remembers all the details from them. At his sixth birthday party he led a discussion at the table by asking all his adult relatives who would win and then giving them information about each animal to explain who in fact did win. He did the same thing with his older cousins at a family gathering. I should also mention that these books do not in any way glamorize violence. The struggle in each book is in fact brief and downplayed.
Really great book! We learned so many interesting and unknown facts!! My 7 year old right dove into it and finish it all in one sitting (normally he is not very interested in reading). He loves to share the facts he learns with his father and I. We have a few other of these books and they are just fantastic. HIGHLY recommend!
It's not easy to find books that a 3d grader will lose himself in, but this (and others in this series) are very well loved by my budding zoologist grandson. And of course anything involving combat between fearsome creatures rates highly as well.
My 8 year old loves these books. We had to go to an outside vendor for used books but they were in great shape. He loves these books. I always hear "mommy did you know..." when he reads these. Great books.
This is the second in the series we have purchased of this- the first was the bull shark vs the hammerhead shark- Both my son and I correctly guessed the bull shark would win vs the hammerhead because of the bull shark's aggressiveness but this book surprised us- Both my son and I figured the Komodo Dragon would win hands down against the King Cobra- Boy were we wrong-! Still a good book and if you're like my six year old son and myself, fascinated by different kinds of animals and how they might fight it out in the wilderness, this book will catch your interest!
I should say my 8 year old nephew loves it. He originally started reading this series at school and decided he would like to own them for himself. I purchased 2 for his birthday. He has since asked me to buy more so I would guess that this is a pretty good endorsement for the book.

This who wins is not as engaging as other books in the series. Maybe sharks are just more fascinating. But my children do not go back to this book over and over again.
