My 10 year old son has enjoyed the "100 Most...." series since we first discovered them when he was in second grade. Whenever a new version comes out, we have to order it. He reads and re-reads these books regularly and loves to "enlighten me" with their "interesting" factoids. Definitely a great series for boys!
Though it's geared to 3rd-6th graders, Anna Claybourne's 100 MOST FEARED CREATURES is one impressive book and certainly would appeal to - and scare! - older readers just as well as youngsters. A 2013 Scholastic release, it describes, illustrates and ranks a bevy of dangerous critters you don't want to run into!The book tops off at 112 pages. It groups the creatures into categories like Vipers, Constrictors, Colubrid Snakes, Lizards, Fierce Fish, Jellyfish, Surprisingly Scary Sea Creatures, Bears, Herbivores, Eagles, Ants, Beetles, Creepy Crawlies, Bloodsuckers, etc. Each section has a 5-4-3-2-1 ranking with the #1 'most dangerous' in that category rating a one-paragraph write-up, color photograph and short stats sidebar. The other four get a pix and stats sidebar. The book concludes with a 'Top 100' Most Dangerous listing that reveals the deadliest of the deadly. And what is the Most Dangerous Creature in the World? Sorry, you'll have to read the book to find out!Part of Scholastic Press' 100 MOST series, Claybourne's book is a wonderfully-illustrated and informative guide to scary creatures on land, sea or air. Kids of all ages will be fascinated by Claybourne's book. Highly recommended.
My 5th grade son has had a love for non fiction books ever since he began to read. The love the Almanac, Ripley's Believe It OR NOT, and Guinness Book of Records. To that point, this book addresses 'scary' creatures on land, sea and air. He enjoyed this and passed it on to his friends.
One of my son's favorite books! Broken into groups of similar animals, then 5 are rated from being less deadly to most deadly. For example its not just a section with "snakes" but several different sub-groups of snakes - there is a section for vipers, a section for sea snakes, a section for snakes with fangs that don't fold back, a section for cobras, a section for constrictors, etc... Wonderful pictures, lots of information that keeps my 6 year-old's attention for hours. I love that he is learning about new animals and new parts of the world and then sharing what he learned with me so we can have a discussion about the animals. This book encourages him to think beyond just what is written...for example, he recently was reading about ostriches being deadly (in the flightless birds category) and asked why an ostrich would attack a person. His only experiences with an ostrich previously had been at the zoo where they were docile and almost domesticated (new vocab words for him!). I was then able to explain to him the difference between domesticated animals and wild animals, how something becomes domesticated, why we would want to raise ostriches on a farm and where they naturally live.Can't say enough good about this book and this series. Even as an adult, if you enjoy watching Animal Planet you will love reading this book!
I am a nine year old boy and I really liked this book.There were some scary pictures but I think it was really good.I think the book would be just right for kid's seven and up.My favourite thing about this book was the drawings thay were awesome!!!!!
My 7 year old daughter loves this book it is one of her favorite books and it encourages her to read. The book has a lot of color and detailed descriptions of all sorts of animals, insects, and our favorite... PARASITES!
good book for any body that's age of 6-11 years old.everybody should read it when they can.And one more thing it is very cheap!
My 9 yr. old Grandson requested a book from this series and he loved it.It's a nice size book for young kids .
