Reviews
“It's Spit-acular!: The Secrets of Saliva is a spectacular recreational nonfiction read. I haven't found any other children's books on spitting and saliva so this is a must-have. The amount of trivia and facts about saliva included earn this book a spot on my must have list. Want a definition for drool, loogie, slobber, lungie, gob, and sputum? Got it. Want to know why throwing spitballs is illegal? Now I know . . . I'm also glad that I was never married in Greece, but you'll have to read the book to see why.”

“The Gross and Goofy Body' [series of books] enlivens physiology for kids, offering humorous yet scientific surveys of body functions in just under 50 pages each. Kids in grades 2-4 will find [these books] appealing and fun. Each blends photos with fun cartoons and photos of kids, along with plenty of basic physiology.”
