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.
