About Weird But True Gross: 300 Slimy, Sticky, And Smelly
Review "This latest series installment provides plenty of fodder over which readers can marvel and exclaim... Visually appealing and absolutely disgusting, this highly browsable book is best for the “general facts” shelves in public and school libraries" -- School Library Journal. Product Description Get ready to be grossed out -- in a good way! This latest addition to the crazy popular Weird but True series is slimy and sticky and jam-packed with more icky, zany fun! Step up to the plate and try not to lose your lunch, with 300 all-new, amazing facts plus photos that kids just can't get enough of. From School Library Journal Gr 2-4-For many children, "gross" and "fascinating" are synonymous. This latest series installment provides plenty of fodder over which readers can marvel and exclaim. This volume reads like a collection of Pinterest quotes. Each page contains one or two brief facts, most of which are related to bodily fluids or processes-all illustrated with photos and typeset in colorful, eye-catching fonts. Some are historical: "During the 1500s, Brits soaked fabrics in stale urine to help bind color dyes to cloth." Others refer to world records or interesting statistics. There is a detailed subject index and a complete listing of photo credits, but no source references. VERDICT Visually appealing and absolutely disgusting, this highly browsable book is best for the "general facts" shelves in public and school libraries.-Maggi Rohde, Ann Arbor Public Schools, MIα(c) Copyright 2011.
