Stings hurt! They can even kill. Animals such as scorpions, jellyfish, and wasps sting predators and prey to hurt or kill them. Some animals have stings so venomous they can kill a human. This book explores the adaptations and defenses used by stinging animals. Readers will learn the animals' features, habitats, and reasons for stinging. Bright full-color photographs and edge-of-your-seat text will keep even the most reluctant readers engaged and excited to discover more about creatures that sting.
