Synopsis

Put on your suit of armor and grab your bear spray because it's time to explore the deadly side of things. This is the perfect book for curious boys and girls who want the real scoop on predators, natural disasters, and dangerous jobs.
That's Deadly! takes you on a journey to explore all of the things in this world that can put your life in jeopardy. From spewing volcanoes to ferocious predators, you'll find tons of fascinating facts that will keep you lying awake at night wondering what exactly might be lurking under your bed. Can't sort fact from fiction? Don't worry, we've layered in playful reality checks so kids know the actual peril possibility factor (PPF) is far less than perceived (as long as you steer clear of certain situations!). With beautiful photographs, humorous text, and fun and funky design, think of it as the almanac of danger."
