This handbook covers basic and extreme survival techniques.
Warnings remind readers not to put themselves in harm's way
throughout... Double page spreads read much like the layout of a
magazine with text features galore -- insets, headings, photo
captions, etc. Pages are dominated by photos and graphics that are
certain to entice most reluctant readers. The wide range of topics
are indexed and readers will find plenty to consider for everything
from quicksand to avoiding being crushed in a crowd. The book is a
worthy purchase for the "how to" writing exemplars that teachers
demand annually for curriculum. The sewn binding and
more-rugged-than-usual cover will add to the life of this paperback
book.--Karen Kline "Puget Sound Council for the Review of
Children's and Young Adult Literature" (9/30/2017 12:00:00 AM)
