Reviews
“In addition to the fascinating trivia, this title contains a chart comparing animals heart rates (bpm) and their average life span (years). Wonderful for higher level thinking and using math, logic, and reasoning. This would be a perfect page to display . . . and ask the class to discuss the results. Want to know why royalty were called blue-bloods? I know after reading this title.”
“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.”
