Gr 4-7 With such an eye-popping and busy layout, these titles are engaging from beginning to end. Each book covers a lot of creatures and a lot of ground. Each animal receives a spread that explains how it fits into the theme (how it is "fierce" or "strange"), along with a few introductory facts about them. The large images of each animal are often supplemented with smaller inset photos. Fierce and Deadly often feature bloody and brutal takedowns between animals, but are not overtly graphic. The writing is fairly advanced, and there is a lot of vocabulary covered throughout, but the comic bookstyle insets and brief captions ensure reader engagement.

The deadliest animal on Earth is also one of the smallest. The mosquito is a vector, or carrier, of diseases that kill millions of people every year. Readers learn about how and why this is, among other facts about animals with other deadly defenses. Full-color photographs highlight the powerful jaws of the grizzly bear, the huge horn of the rhino, and much more. Readers can see some of the world's predators closer than would be possible, even in a zoo! In addition, fact boxes describe each animal's behavior, size, and even endangered status.
