Komodo Dragon vs. King Cobra (Who Would Win?)

These are great books, educational, interesting, and fun for all ages!

I have bought the entire set of "Who Would Win?" books for my 6-year-old grandson. They are by far his favorite books and he has learned so much about different types of animals from them.In each book the author cleverly sets up an imaginary encounter between two animals as an excuse for providing a wealth of information about the two animals. On facing pages comparing the two animals we learn such things as the scientific name for each, where they live, how they bear young, the size of their bodies and teeth, and, in the case of the Komodo Dragon and King Cobra, the strength of their venom and how it is delivered. We also learn about the other two poisonous lizards and about other snakes. The books are really just packed with information. Then comes the moment of the encounter between the two where we learn who wins! At the end there is a checklist to review which animal had an advantage in different features (such as body size, teeth size, venom, and stealth). My grandson will turn back to that page if he can't remember, but usually he does.What is amazing is not only that my grandson loves these books, but that he remembers all the details from them. At his sixth birthday party he led a discussion at the table by asking all his adult relatives who would win and then giving them information about each animal to explain who in fact did win. He did the same thing with his older cousins at a family gathering. I should also mention that these books do not in any way glamorize violence. The struggle in each book is in fact brief and downplayed.

I am a mother and a teacher.My four year old is very interested in learning all about different animals. He is captivated by "predators".We started off with different books from this series that I already had in my classroom. He loved them so much that I went online and had to purchase more.We have read each of these books hundreds of times. The paper is pretty beat up despite not having the books long due to the endless re-reading and carrying the book around.I love the way the information is organized in the text. The author does an amazing job. The diagrams, templates, and relatable comparisons make the complex information clear.I am a huge fan of the entire series and strongly recommend these books.

Great book series for beginner chapter reading thrifts grade

My boys (3&5) love these books! They are educational but create a story on who would win and they love to guess and see if they’re right! Very fun!

"Who would win?" Great books for children! My son really loves them and this one is not the exception. He already has almost ten of these books and wants more! We always learn new things while reading and my son really really loves the last part where the two animals meet each other.

My 3rd grader

LOVE LOVE These books great for 8 and 9 year old boys... good for boys whom really don't want to read, it will get them to reading and enjoying a subject that they read!

The book showed up the next day and was exactly what we needed to complete my grandsons collection
