Summary: Have you ever wondered how an animal hunts or how they take care of their young? Well now you can have all of your questions answered as you flip through the National Geographic for Kids book, Deadly Predators.

Evaluation: Wow! The pictures in this book are incredible. They allow the reader to see striking images of animals that they normally wouldn’t see such as tigers and sharks. It is informative and provides the students with a wealth of information.

Teaching Idea: I would use this book when talking about ecosystems. We will use this book to discuss predator and prey relationship and how these animals contribute to the food chain.

“I wanted to give it ten stars but there was only five. I liked everything about the book. The Siberian tiger is the cutest. I also liked the cheetah running. The mini-monsters page scared me.” - A

In this book they were talking about predators. After l read this book l learned that l need to stay away from predators. I also learned that wolves, foxes, coyotes are all members of the dog family. They also have some challenging words and they always have the definitions they call it word bite. People who are ready for more challenging sentences and challenge words, should definitely try this book, it would help their reading improve and get a bette future. If you are that level ENJOY!!!

"It was a really good book. My favorite part was when they talked about cheetahs. My least favorite part was talking about wild dogs because they're boring, other dogs are cool, wild dogs are easy to scare so that's boring. I thought the variety of animals were good. The new thing I learned was that Siberian tiger weighed more than 3 men. I highly recommend this book for other kids and adults" ~wsoar

This book talks about predators all over the world and how they survive living in the wild. I like this book because of all the interesting facts about wolves and how they live in the snow.

The National geographic is turning into my favorite form of informational texts. The pictures are amazing and the details they can catch students wouldn't see on their own. This book was a bit morbid for timid or squeemish kiddos, as it talks about animals that kill and eat other animals. I wouldn't recommend it for ust any reader. However, as a sorcefor a science unit on what animals eat, it's got great information and it's still got the jokes and interesting facts sections as well as the glossary for unfamiliar terms. I like the "stump your parents" quiz in the back. Make it fun to learn science facts.

Great photography. Interesting information about predators. I love this series of books.

What i liked about this book is that you can read the book a couple times and then there is a test so you can see if you are smarter than you where before.What i also like about this book is that it teaches you about a lot of animals not just one animal!
