Colorful and welcoming, young readers will love reading about super gross stuff in their bodies: stuff like: bacteria, mucus, pus and germs and yes, pee, poop and passing gas! 

Sure to become a favorite read What's in Your Body has funny illustrations, cartoon thought bubbles, gross, but interesting facts shared by a narrator scientist Dr. Ick and his sidekick Sam the dog. 

Readers will learn super gross facts about their own bodies; for example, did you know that your small intestines are twenty-five feet long? or that skin is an organ? Kids should be grossed out to realize they have tiny bugs in their eyelashes. Mites do the icky job of cleaning dead skin and mucus from around our eyes. 

Complete with a glossary of terms and a fun science project to do at home, this is an entertaining book for the beginning biologist, but every reader will learn important things about the body. 

Highly recommended grades K-4. Reluctant readers will have an easy time reading and more importantly, enjoying this book.
