228/10 - That's an understatement.

Wicked illustrations that will help you tackle silly dangers. Made me laugh out loud and I know my friends at school will love it!

Awesome jokes that made me laugh out loud ... one of the funniest books I have read.

I loved it because it is full of hilarious pictures . . . such as TEPOC - the Emergency Page Of Calm. Make a copy of this page and show it to your Mum when she is getting stressed!

Loved it! Really enjoyed it - favourite chapter was the danger pets

This book is very good for boys as it contains scary and rude things. . . !

A star turn that will amuse smart seven-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and, in our experience, 47-year olds . . . well-paced and funny throughout

A surreal, daft and funny book . . . A bracing satirical sideswipe at today's health-and-safety culture, aimed at kids who'll get the irony and relish the silliness.

Imagine the Mighty Boosh crashed into the Wimpy Kid

Taken from the notebooks of the enigmatic and ultra-cautious dangerologist Docter Noel Zone, DANGER IS EVERYWHERE is a brilliantly funny handbook for avoiding danger of all kinds.
