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.

Watch your step the next time you wade out into the ocean. You definitely don't want to bump into the deadliest, most venomous sea creature in the world: the box jellyfish. This skilled hunter has thousands of tiny stingers that shoot out poison that's strong enough to stop a human's heart in less than three minutes. Luckily, box jellyfish usually don't attack humans--unless a person comes too close! Packed with spectacular photos and fascinating facts, Box Jellyfish: Killer Tentacles introduces kids to the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these dangerous creatures. A narrative format will keep readers turning the pages for more.
