Giant Centipede: Colossal Creeper of the Night (Real Monsters) – Booklist

Cover: Real Monsters

Not for the faint of heart, this book in the aptly named Real Monsters series dramatically plays up the centipede’s lethal venom and frightening looks—as well as its fascinating natural history. The well-written text covers a variety of related topics in an order that makes sense and gives the book a narrative feel, even though it is packed with facts. . . . Sidebars provide plenty of interest, connecting centipedes to popular and ancient culture and unusual news anecdotes. Readers will enjoy learning about these “monstrous” creatures from all angles.
