Very cool pictures of Deadly Animals of the World; lots of cool fun facts; its a basic ebook offered for free...By ElizabethAnother Baby Professor book with vivid pictures. There are about 200 books in this ebook series that are offered in the kindle store for either free or for .99cent;. You cant really go wrong with the books offered for free. There is a variety of subjects covered and most of the books follow about the same format. You can take a peek inside the books by clicking "Look Inside" and this is pretty much what you get in each book.The format for this book is like most of the Baby Professor books in this series which have a picture with a paragraph and facts on one page. Then the next page is just a photo. It would be nice if they had another paragraph on that page too. The pictures are really cool and are my favorite part of the book. You can detailed features on many of the animals; like the hair on the mosquito.Overall; I do love theses books although it would be nice if most of the books went into more detail but they are very basic books that I hope will get my kids interested in finding more about each subject.I plan on keeping these books on my iPad for down time for my kids when they get bored waiting different places like the doctors office or practice for a sibling. I sometimes watch a friends 3 year old daughter and she likes to look through the pictures on my phone. I plan on showing her these books to keep her entertained. I think she will love them.***** I received this ebook for free for my honest review. ******0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. While I think this is an excellent book; with great pictures and nice educational informationBy J. H.While I think this is an excellent book; with great pictures and nice educational information; there is no overall connecting idea in this book. Animals and species shown belong to very different classes; and while they are all dangerous and deadly; there is no advice on how to avoid them; how not to get hurt by them; so the reader is left hanging in the air - how do you identify these; where do they live; how do you avoid them; what is similar about them.... So; the book is essentially a listing of stuff; and if a parent or a teacher were to read it to children; I am sure there will be a lot of questions; and this book does not answer any of those questions; so it may be hard to read to children without having the necessary answers.Sample was provided free of charge for reading and a review.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

My kids love science and I try to read to them during the sporting events instead of them playing video games. The books in this series have wonderful pictures along with little facts that go along with them. The words are easy for readers that have been reading for a couple of years but if your child is too young for that this book is great to read to them! The book is written in plan terms that kids can understand. Itrsquo;s a great way to introduce science facts to kids. Each book in this series introduced one particular aspect of science and portrays it in a way that makes kids want to learn more. I plan on recommending this series for the pre-K teacher at my sonsrsquo; school who loves to introduce the kids to science.The pictures is this book are great! They are very detailed and close up. My kids loved looking at each animal as I read them the facts for each. Theres something little boys like about dangerous animals. It covered animals from air to the sea. The colorful frog pictures were my kids favorite. This book is short enough to keep my six year olds attention. I would definitely recommend it to anyone whos kid is interested in animalsI receivedDeadly Animals Of The World: Poisonous and Dangerous Animals Big Small: Wildlife Books for Kids (Childrens Animal Books) this book at a free or reduced rate in exchange for providing an honest and unbiased review.
