Providing a variety of reasons to stay out of the water, these vivid texts explore different dangerous ocean dwellers. Each volume begins with a description of how someone was bitten and/or poisoned by the title creature. The texts continue by explaining each animal's anatomy and behavior. Vivid underwater photos provide close-up looks and are more compelling than the somewhat scattered writing. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.

Three-year-old Anthony Cerasa was at the beach with his family. He saw a tiny brown octopus and picked it up. Then something surprising happened. Bright blue lines and rings appeared on the creature's skin. Anthony didn't know it, but he was holding a blue-ringed octopus-one of the most venomous sea creatures. The blue-ringed octopus may look cute and harmless-but it isn't. Look inside for the surprising truth about how dangerous this little sea creature really is. You'll also find out where it lives, what it eats-and how to stay safe if you meet up with one in the water. Book jacket.
