Description
This book describes, in countdown format, ten of the world's most dangerous bugs.
Quick Summary
Packed with terrifying tarantulas, flesh-eating beetles, and bugs that can kill with a single sting, this countdown-style book builds suspense with each page turn as readers race to discover which creepy crawler takes the top spot. Kids will devour the gross-out details about blood-sucking insects, flesh-eating larvae, and armies of stinging pests while feeling safely terrified from the comfort of their reading spot. If your kid devours "Snakes" by Nic Bishop or loves the "Who Would Win?" series, they'll be hooked on this bug-filled showdown. Perfect for independent readers in grades 4-6 who can handle a 4.4 reading level and want quick, shiver-inducing reads.
