This fully illustrated, totally wacky handbook is about an everyman who is afraid of everything! Dr. Noel Zone, the greatest (and only) dangerologist in the world, is ready to teach readers how to avoid danger at all costs--from sneaky snakes posing as toothbrushes, to sharks hiding in toilets, to robots disguised as kindly grandmas. After all, DANGER IS EVERYWHERE, and we need to be prepared!

With art on every page, this hilarious and truly creative handbook will have readers laughing out loud (very safely) from start to finish.

The was short and it was funnny.

I think this is a really good book.

Danger is truly everywhere from Vikings to toothbrushes. This book was really quick and funny. Dr. Noel is a hilarious man who has realized danger is lurking everywhere. You might think reading a book is safe but...NO NO NO there could be a tiger under the bed, there could be a Page 9 Scorpion in front of your eyes or one of my favorite dangers, the octopus mailbox. It waits for someone to put a letter inside, then grabs and attacks! Half these dangers are not real but the more you read the better the story gets. There are also very funny illustrations on almost every page that teach you how to avoid all of these crazy dangers and a final DETBAFOD test...Dangerology Examination To Become A Full On Dangerologist. I passed the test.

BEWARE: Danger is everywhere!!!! Luckily I picked up this handbook where it taught me to realize danger is everywhere and it also made me to be a qualified dangerologist (Yay... I passed college by using dangerology as my major...lol :P) Dangerologist is a person who is an expert in dangerology, where dangerology is an area of expertise of danegerologist... huh... doesn't make any sense now, but it will... soon... very slowly, but BAM!!! 1.) Make sure you are reading this book in a safe place (no bicycles, shark cage, or in a chair that is on fire) And of course check if there are scorpions 2.) Open the book with caution!!!! 3.) Read the page really slowly and turn each page VERY VERY SLOWLY... again, with caution... 4.) Repeat... 5.) Get ready to become a dangerologist... Wait... after you read this amazing book, take the quiz in order to become a dangerologist, so pay attention really closely, and if you pass it certifies that you made it to become a dangerologist, so hold on tight with your seatbelt because this is going to be a "fast" journey... wait it can't be fast, because we have to proceed on by turning the pages very slowly. Warning!!!! There are so many acronyms... I, myself, really enjoy acronyms... I always think of them like secret sayings, which was indeed important and significant when I was younger, where I would say weird words and of course acronyms to communicate with my brother, when we wanted to tell each other "secretive" messages... ahhh.... old times... well it brought back a lot of memories... but I the acronym queen could keep up with the acronyms, because there is a lot... where sometimes I had to go back in forth to see what it stands for... but after a couple of times doing it... you're covered... I memorized all the acronyms... so just a tiny warning... Also don't you love Docter Noel Zone's name.... especially the "Docter" part... I don't know if that's just me, but I thought that was creative.... Away from my rambling... and let's start with the actually part of the review... Onward!!! Okay so meet Docter Noel Zone who used to be a lifeguard, but drained all of the water to create a safer environment... I really liked all of his ideas except for this one... I am so against it, because swimming is my life... Just kidding.... but I love swimming, and who would do that to a swimming pool... that I am totally against.. but how about we do that to a pit of lava... or maybe a volcano and rid of all the magma and lave (having the mindset of Docter Noel Zone... I really want to be a dangerologist, so I have to think like him)... but this book was really ironic and imaginative... the two i's or ii... which is two in roman numerals... ok seriously I am totally off topic... all Docter Noel Zone's fault!! This book helps you tell the difference between a cat and a baby tiger or a dog and a baby wolf (TIAWA) which is totally helpful because I have two adorable puppies.... but the safest pet is the stone... I got some of my pets (stones) from the beach for FREEEEEEEEE!!!! So take advantage of that, go to the beach now, it's way easier to take care of then "baby wolves or tigers"!!!!! Also get your cabbages from only Gretel's Cabbage Cabin!!!! Now I think I'm blurting out random (but helpful) facts to stay away from danger... but this quirky book has lots of details which make you pay attention closely and SPOILER ALERT>>>>>> there are cartoonish illustrations which help make the story easier to understand.... I really enjoyed this hilarious but serious book, just remember and use all these tips to help you to stay away from danger!!! -Bibliophile (Dangerologist as Level 1)

Your reviews are always so amazing :sighs: Miss Bibliophile, you are cordially invited to join the book review show, "Read That Book!" Anyway.. are you sure your puppies aren't WOLVES (haha).. anyway, I found your gorgonzola pizza.. How did you know my secret compartment was in my bookshelf.. LOL.. I ate the pizza.. REALLY GOOOD! But I also found your most successful pizza recipe (he he) and now I have millions of dollars XD Would you like a piece? :sprinkles salt: :puts melons: :puts chocolate chips: Bibliophile: MMMMM

Aww thanks! Your book reviews are totally AWESOME... I would love to join the book review show! Thank you so much for inviting me... Uh oh... Now I am worried... did you have to bring that up that my adorable puppies might be wolves *gulp* ummm I think I might have to go to the vet to find out...MMMMmmm you are totally right the pizza IS AWESOME.... Now it's my fave food... We can be millionaires together! *high five*

Wait.. should I call it, "Read That Book!" or "Books Have Words".. It's your decision since I can't decide ._. *high fives back* We're both part of the Million Dollar Club! (It's a parody on Million Mile Club.. he he.. I'll explain what that means later..) I think I've caught the "Rambling" disease from you, I just keep on "rambling.." must get the antidote of "posting.." Ahh, okay, here it is.

This book is amazing! It made me smile and shake my head at the same time. It is a laugh-out-loud book that is very amusing. It is very RAD (really awfully dangerous). It teaches you about things like the page 9 scorpion that you can only kill if you step on the book. If you get too scared, got to TEPOC (the emergency page of calm). If you want to know what I'm talking about, read this book!
