I'm a great fan of this entire series, but "All About Scabs" is a great addition -- destined to become a classic. Every child has scabs, and has questions and fears about them. The text is highly amusing, which makes the book fun for adults to read out loud. This one may be even better than "Holes in Your Nose" and "Everyone Poops." All three belong on every child's bookshelf, and on the shelf of anyone who ever has an occasion to entertain a young child. My eight year old, who grew up with nightly readings of "Everyone Poops" and "The Holes in Your Nose" likes this new one just as much. Bravo!!

Straightforward explaination of what happens when we get injured - even a child can grok this, which is good, since that's the real intended audience...

I'm a big fan of "Everyone Poops" and "The Gas we Pass" which are also by Yagyu. This book gives kids an excellent look into how their bodies react to cuts and what scabs are all about. Kids ask the darndest questions...and this book gives them some answers. Fun reading for the entire family.

These are fun books that are great for a coffee table or bathroom. The illustrations are the best and I can always find something to laugh at.

My kid is only 3, and she loves this book. When she gets a "boo-boo," she explains to me what's happening during the scabbing process. Wonderful!

I'm a big fan of "Everyone Poops" and "The Gas we Pass" Which "All about Scabs" reminded me of. This book gives kids an excellent look into how their bodies react to cuts and what scabs are all about. Kids ask the darndest questions...and this book gives them some answers. Fun reading for the entire family.

I have a 6yr girl and 3yr boy and they both get a kick out of it, especially my 6yr who loves to read it over and over. Of course my boy loves to see the pictures of blood and it was quite informative as well. We have tons of books, but the `funny' ones like this and `The Holes in Your Nose', `The Gas we Pass' and the `Poop' books are the ones they always pick to read most often. I hope your kids enjoy it as well! God bless you!

Considering this is part of the "My Body Science" series that also brings us "The Gas We Pass" and "Everyone Poops," you can expect more of the same gross-out humor and scatalogical references. ("Maybe a scab is...the poop of a sore!")

But if you can get past the poop talk, this book does a great job of giving a scientific insight into a topic that naturally fascinates kids.

Liked the other books of this genre, but this one misses the mark. Better for older kids than the 3 yr. olds.

I bought this book for my nephew and he absolutely loves it! He learned why he shouldn't pick his scabs and wht can happen if he does.
