Book overview

What should you do if you encounter a bear on a nature walk? How can you tell the difference between cow parsley and its poisonous lookalike? And what's the best way to escape quicksand?

There's much to learn about the great outdoors--including its dangers. In Poisonous and Dangerous: How to Survive Outside, explore the risks of the wild and how to stay safe when encountering dangerous animals, poisonous plants, extreme weather conditions and more. Read about true survival stories, like the brave eleven-year-old who scared a bear away from his family or the man who was struck by lightning seven different times. Enjoying time in nature begins with learning about the good, the bad and the dangerous!
