Browse the books in the Danger is Everywhere series by David O'Doherty

DANGER is STILL EVERYWHERE: Beware of the Dog! 
 
Will Docter Noel Zone's second book tell you how to combat a CROCUUM*? YES 
And reveal the secrets of the world's greatest (and only) Dangerologist? THAT TOO 
Has he written it yet? NO 
Is it because he's hiding in a wardrobe? MAYBE 
 
Docter Noel is facing his most terrifying situation EVER - a little dog called Napkin has come to stay. That may not sound particularly dangerous, but every POD (Pupil of Dangerology) knows the only safe pet is a pet rock. So now Docter Noel is hiding in a wardrobe while Napkin wreaks havoc around the Dangerzone. And all the while Docter Noel is supposed to be writing his new VERY IMPORTANT handbook on Dangerology (Level 2). 
 
That is until the Pet of the Year (POTY) contest is announced and Docter Noel hatches a plan. There's only one problem. Serial safety-flouter Max WURST is the judge. . . 
 
For Docter Noel, it's never been clearer that DANGER IS STILL EVERYWHERE 
 
*A crocodile that looks like a vacuum cleaner that lives under the stairs. 
 
Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets The Dangerous Book for Boys, DANGER is STILL EVERYWHERE is the second brilliantly funny handbook for avoiding danger of all kinds that will have everyone from reluctant readers to bookworms laughing out loud (very safely) from start to finish.

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.

228/10 - THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

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.

The world's greatest (and only) DANGEROLOGIST is back to make YOU into a Level 3 DANGEROLOGIST in his new SCHOOL OF DANGER handbook. 
 
Following a mishap involving his DANGER MOBILE (shopping trolley) and the local school dinner lady, Docter Noel Zone joins the teaching staff to help out. 
 
WARNING! BEWARE! CAUTION! Any POD (Pupil of Dangerology) knows that schools are full of DANGER - from VAMPIRE teachers to HAUNTED BOOKS! And when bikes start to go missing from around school, to Docter Noel, it's never been clearer that DANGER REALLY IS EVERYWHERE.
