Reviews

Publishers Weekly

​"Photographs of each animal fill the pages, augmented with occasional diagrams—readers won’t soon forget the terrifying, gaping jaws of creatures like the anglerfish and goblin shark."—Publishers Weekly

Kirkus Reviews

“These ‘tiny terrors and mini-monsters’ are well-chosen to give even the most hardened browsers the heebie-jeebies. . . . [D]efinitely not for the squeamish.”—Kirkus Reviews
