Book Buzz, August 2011

"The fascinating text is mixed with actual photographs and illustrations that will delight readers sense of being grossed out."

Eastern Washington Book Review Council

Colorful layouts attract the eye, while the stomach is delightfully turned by the descriptive cartoon illustrations and blunt language in this book . . . Middle school kids will love reading about slime, puke, and poop . . . This very interesting book will spark readers' desire to know more and will lead to lively discussions."

National Science Teachers Association Recommends Web site, posted November 22, 2010

"This fascinating look at gross animals will appeal to those with scientific inclinations and reluctant readers."

Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries

"Upper elementary and middle school boys, and girls who think like them, are going to love this book! All kinds of disgusting insects and other animals are described here. Geared towards reluctant readers, the authors use conversational language, colorful pictures, and interesting sidebars to deliver the goods on these most interesting, albeit, disgusting of creatures . . . The authors do a great job of making science fun and interesting even if it is really quite sickening . . . This book would be a great resource for a unit on biology, animals, or animal behavior."
