Description
These animals may put the "aww" in aww-dorable, but their deadly venom and killer instincts will also knock your socks off! From powerful poison to super strength, get ready to turn your squee into screams with this crew of killer cuties.
Isn't the furry little face of a hedgehog so cute? Not so much when he turns into a prickly little ball and all those quills poke you! Or what about the big, round eyes of the floofy northern pygmy owl? They draw you in, but watch out for this small hunter where EVERYTHING is on the menu! Maybe the sweet, adorable ladybird will be kind. At least until they chomp their way through piles of aphids!
This informative yet humorous picture book introduces readers to some of the most adorable animals around and their killer instincts!
Cute Animals That Could Kill You Dead by Brooke Hartman captures this fascinating juxtaposition of cuteness and danger. Discover these intriguing creatures like never before!
