Behind the Book

“Because my book Deadliest Animals is the National Geographic Reader series #1 bestseller in the e‑book format, my editor asked me to write this book. We hope it will appeal to the same group of curious kids.

“I had a blast doing the research for this book, including a spirited debate with a scientist about the best definitions for the words predator, carnivore, poison, and venom. Luckily, we both had the same goal in mind — creating the best, most accurate book for young readers.”
