This book describes how a stonefish's spines release poison that can
kill predators--or people! Short paragraphs of easy-to-read text are
paired with plenty of colorful photos to make reading engaging and
accessible. The book also includes a table of contents, fun facts,
sidebars, comprehension questions, a glossary, an index, and a list of
resources for further reading. Apex books have low reading levels
(grades 2-3) but are designed for older students, with interest levels
of grades 3-7.
