Customer Reviews

LOVE the ENTIRE SERIES!

Because many of these books are out of print, I ended up getting a lot of mine from England- that ain't cheap, but they're worth it. I teach 8th and 9th grade science, I love including tidbits and cartoons from these books to fill out my lessons.

Fun for everyone

Although this book is aimed for young adults, `Nasty Nature` can amuse both young and not-so-young adults. Nick Arnold has a funny way of writing, talking about things that could be boring the hands of a less talented writer. The information he brings is interesting and completely new to many people. Plus, his style is easy and talks straight to kids, like he put himself in their shoes. Another great thing in this book is Tony De Saullres` illustrations. They are funny and cute-- even some nasty animals. Some interesting information are provided about Mother Nature. But what I liked best is the light way that the book is written. Arnold has a gift of making what would be a bore in a funny and whoth reading bookMy suggestion is: buy this book to your kids and read it yourself too. You`ll realized that you`d never noticed how interesting and nasty Mother Nature could be.

The best book ever

Nasty Nature, illustrated by, Tony De SaullresAuthorized by, Nick Arnold I read a book about nasty nature. It is about nasty nature. It has some facts and some funny stuff. Did you know that the turkeys are the dumbest animal ever? It gets scared by a rattling paper flying though the air. If you want a good and funny book get this one. There are other ones like this one, they are called: Ugly Bugs Blood, Bones and Body Bits Chemicals Chaos.

Nasty Nature is an A-Plus!

Nasty Nature finds ordinary boring facts, adds a punch line complete with cartoons, and with those 3 steps makes a science book look like a joke book! If you haven't gotten all the books in the Horrible Science series, you should get them! And if you have them all, the Horrible History series is great also! (I have both of those sets.)

FANTASTIC!!!

This was a GREAT book! It told about meny diffrent animals doing really strange things. It even had a key to what dogs and cats faces' mean. This book had much more then that, like what sharks do, the best mother, diffrent typs of animals, and a lot more! You should buy this book!!
