A nonfiction book divided into five sections covering 100 of the most dangerous things on the planet.  Sections are natural disasters, dangerous weather, lost in the wild, dangerous animals, and dangers caused by humans.  Each page has a description of the danger, what to do, a risk rating, a survival rating, and an interesting tip or fact.  Pages are packed with pictures and words written in varying fonts. Readers in grades 3-7 will learn about new dangers (a seiche) and familiar dangers (a mosquito).  The risk and survival ratings make it quick and easy to see the level of danger (very unlikely to meet a chimpanzee but only a 40% chance of survival if attacked). Teachers and parents will appreciate how the author puts an emphasis on avoiding each danger.  Perfect book for readers wanting to learn about the dangers in this world or who just love information.
