From snot and phlegm to earwax and eye gunk, there's some pretty gross stuff in that body of yours! But why do you have all that sticky slime inside you? And why does it build up sometimes and make you feel so rotten? Learn all about the nasty stuff in your eyes, ears, nose, and throat - and find out how it can actually help you by flushing germs out of your body and keeping you in good health. With close-up pictures and lots of disgusting facts, this book tells all about the gross science behind your body's functions.
"What's impressive is the amount of factual information contained within, most of it about the spreading and preventing of viruses (Larsen even warns you about the last person who touched the book). If you can get past the wince-inducing close-ups of pus-filled ears and bloody noses, this is both funny and educational."
Booklist
"Kids love to be grossed out and that is where this series excels. Based upon biology and elements of human anatomy these books are a great hook to help readers learn the facts about our bodies, well, the gross parts."
Library Media Connection
"These titles work the ick factor to the max with their irreverent style and over-the-top look at body functions. Solid information layered between sarcastic comments and kid-friendly terminology like fart, poop, barf, and puke will keep readers engaged."
