Toxic The World’s Deadliest Creatures Ico Romero Reyes Illustrated by Tània García For ages 7+
An entertaining and beautifully illustrated survey of the use of poison in the animal kingdom
Creatures from all around the animal kingdom wield a mysterious weapon that is key to their survival: poison! Their sophisticated concoctions are designed with precision to defy predators or subdue prey. This spine-tingling collection of toxic animals will teach children about the astonishing strategies they use to deliver venom and poison, from big-eyed fuzzy critters with a poisonous secret or tiny flashy octopuses that can kill in minutes, to sinister spiders, snakes and scorpions. The book includes a feature on a day in the life of a toxicologist, and children can test their knowledge with the quiz that concludes the book.
