Review:

If you are wondering what a predator really is, this guide will help you figure it out and see these animals in action with fantastic photos. A predator is an animal that kills and eats other animals. Yikes!

When we think of predators we imagine lions, tigers and bears in the wild chasing after their prey. But would you think of a fly as a predator? The bearded robber fly hunts insects like bees. With a sweet name like the honey badger don’t be fooled, this little guy loves to catch and eat venomous snakes. The American badger loves to dig and finds its prey in burrows under the ground. The leopard seal is beautiful to watch under water but it is one of the most fierce predators in the Antartica. The Asian giant softshell turtle is weird to look at but it likes to sit and wait to ambush its prey.

Readers will find the usual predators like snakes, hawks, sharks and the like, but young learners will be engaged in reading about worms, spiders, dogs, and birds that are represented as some serious predators. The photographs all through this guide plus extensive facts and details about where these predators live and how they hunt will surprise readers. This awesome guide has over 100 predators from all around the globe and in the waters. Parents and teachers will want this guide in the library for reference and engaging kids to learn about their world.
