About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a curious child who is fascinated by the 'gross' side of nature or who needs to be engaged through humor and high-interest facts. This installment of the Horrible Science series dives into the world of dangerous predators, animal defenses, and the slightly stomach-turning reality of the natural world. It addresses themes of curiosity and bravery by framing biological science as a daring adventure. Parents will appreciate how it uses a lighthearted, cartoon-heavy format to build scientific literacy and vocabulary in a way that feels like entertainment rather than a textbook. It is a perfect choice for reluctant readers who prefer non-fiction with a side of dark humor.
