Creepy crawlies may look small and harmless, and lots of them are – but some have fearsome fangs, deadly disguises, strong jaws … and a BIG appetite! Discover which spider species makes friends with frogs, which bug hides in flowers and what tactics these predators use to catch their prey.

Dangerous Creatures explores how predators are uniquely adapted to hunt and kill their prey. Find out their unique attributes, such as size, super senses, where they live, and what’s on the menu! Bite-sized text is perfect for children aged 7+ as well as reluctant readers and is paired with engaging artwork and funny speech bubbles.

Collect all the dangerous creatures – Big Cats, Sharks and Other Sea Creatures, Snakes and Other Reptiles.
