K-3Armed and Dangerous series.
This series focuses on how creatures use their natural powers to hunt and to guard against predators. Sidebars, "Fun Facts" (e.g., "Skunks can even spray predators while upside down!"), and photographs bolster the uneven information. The last page in each volume discuses human interaction with the title creatures and how to avoid getting in their way. Glos., ind. Review covers these Armed and Dangerous titles: Chomp!, Phew!, Poison!, Poke!, and Sting!
