Pretty Funny!

As an active outdoorsy girl, I have read this book many times. This is a funny way of explaining dangers in the outdoors for anybody that is interested. Very realistic and quite helpful! GREAT BOOK!

THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD (FOR EDUCATION)

This book is soooooooo fabulous, I read it when I was in 4th grade and know after years and years I still love this highly funny and informative book. This book can be a real lifesavor, for this book is cut up into sections (short chaptors)and one is ruined by reclus, well I learned what exactly they look like and I found some in my own house I might have picked it up not knowing what it was. This is the best book.

Funny and informative

This book is great! The author shares a lot of detailed information about dangerous animals / situations you might encounter outdoors that can lead to death. And he describes it in a very entertainment, yet funny style. This book is suited for both adults and kids.

Morbidly funny, breezy, yet highly educational

This book tells you about all the dangers in the great outdoors and how you could possibly get sick and die from them. It describes in graphic detail all the symptoms you will experience from everything from jellyfish stings to polar bear attacks to tse-tse fly bites. For the morbidly curious, the book spares no gorey detail about diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, drooling, bleeding, and convulsing. In a very straight forward style and easy to understand terms, Tilton brings you specific information on these potentially dangerous plants and critters of the wilderness. He doesn't get bogged down in too much science, yet gives you just enough information to laugh, learn, and hopefully avoid the pitfalls contained in this hilarious yet educational tome. All learning should be this much fun.
