[Beth · Rating 3 out of 5]

OK, this is a 4 star for kids but a three star for me, because I'm a super wimp and there's a picture of a guy bleeding all over his head after a bear attack and I don't handle that well. But any kid who picks up a book from the series ANIMALS ATTACK is obviously looking for exactly that content, so well done book. I liked the balance between the idea that bear attacks are rare and the idea that if they happen they will seriously mess you up.
