Reviews

Booklist

“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

Library Media Connection

“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.”

School Library Journal

“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.”
