I purchased two of these as Christmas gifts. They went to 7 and 10 year old boys. No complaints from either one. They thoroughly enjoyed reading from one page to the next. The book is not by any means a true surival guide but it offers interesting facts and (potentially) realistic situations. For entertainment value that also gets boys reading it's a win, win.

What a neat book! My 8 year old took it out on the back patio and read for about an hour. He absolutely loves it! I finally got to sneak a peak and found it to be interesting and educational. My kids can't wait to take it school and share with their classes.

This book covers seventy different kinds of threats to human survival. Everything from natural disasters to wildlife encounters to different environmental dangers and human-caused dangers (plane crashes, mobs, etc.) For the most part the information is straight-forward and accurate. The reader needs to keep in mind however, that the advice contained in this book is very generic. Overall the information is helpful and encourages the use of common sense.

I did have a problem with one entry. The entry on Komodo Dragons is not completely accurate. First, Komodo Dragons are not the world's largest reptile (alligators and crocodiles can get much bigger, I just read an article today about a 21-foot long crocodile being caught in the Philippines). They are the world's largest LIZARD, however. In addition the authors describe Komodo dragons as being venomous, something that scientists are still disputing. There is no doubt however that Komodo dragons carry multiple types of deadly bacteria in their saliva and one really wouldn't want to be bitten by one.

The illustrations are great, gorgeous photographs mixed with cartoon-like drawings compliment the text in age appropriate ways. The book is not graphic in any way. The book would be great for reluctant readers and for teaching students about the importance of accuracy in nonfiction works. Recommended.

I’m a speech therapist, and this is a great book to read, review, ask questions about, and summarize with students.

I am a 10 year old girl and I am going to tell you what I think about "Survie O Pedia." "Survie O pedia" is a book about what to do in life-changing situations. Fo example: If you are chased by a hippo, what do you do? What are you supossed to do in the event that a lion chases you? These are some of the questions that are answered in this book. I think that some of these situations are VERY rare and are not needed. Also, I think that the author did a great job of telling you what to do very deatailed. I cannot telll you everything!......read the book to find out more!

I bought this for my grandson, as the Worst-Case Scenario Survival guides were some of his father's favorite books when he was growing up. This volume has the same sort of information, but with full-color photographs and diagrams on every page.

My son loves this book! He sat down and read it for hours when I gave it to him.

My 8 year old son loves this book. It combines interesting facts and a good sense of humor to explain how to get out of some sticky situations.

Pages have been ripped out and it’s clear that a drink has been spilt over it. What a shame.
