LOOK BIG

The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook (millions copies sold across the series) meets The Illustrated Compendium of Amazing Animal Facts, LOOK BIG details how to survive encounters with 50 different wild animals from moose to mosquitos in a fun and lighthearted gift package.

Do you run from a coyote or stand your ground? (answer: stay put and be as loud and obnoxious as possible). Does a bite from a black-widow spider really equal instant death? (answer: actually, no). Should you fight back or play dead if attacked by a bear? (answer: it depends. no pressure, but you'll have to determine whether it's defensive or predatory pretty quickly.)

Packed with expert tips, fascinating animal facts, and hilarious true tales, LOOK BIG is a funny and helpful survival guide for outdoor, urban, and armchair adventurers alike. If you have ever pondered your strategy for facing down an alligator, escaping the spray of a skunk, or battling an army of cockroaches in the kitchen, this book is for you.
