      Gr 1-4-This series lives up to its billing, with lots of bared teeth, blood-covered snouts, and impressive skulls. Each animal is presented only in terms of its predatory behavior, so there is no information about habitats or life cyclesthis offering glories in action and gore. The Xtreme quotes, often from survivors of animal attacks, add an intensity that kids will love. Each book also provides an example of how these dangerous animals have been harmed by humans, matching gruesomeness with gruesomenessall in full color. There are lots of facts within the texts, but no bibliographies, which diminishes the books research credentials somewhat. However, the glossaries are excellent, defining words and terms kids will actually use. These books are sure to be in high demand.

      General information, "Xtreme Facts," and "Xtreme Quotes" are combined in these reach-out-and-grab-you texts that may attract reluctant readers. After jumping around to many different topics, the books end somewhat abruptly. Some of the many photographs are gruesome. Glos., ind.
