Battle of the Bugs Human Body Detectives Case File #2 By: Author Heather Manley Note: Received Review Copy
Dr. Heather Manley has done it once again!!! She has brilliantly taken us through another "human body detectives" adventure.....As in her first book "The Lucky Escape" Dr. Heather Manley has through exquisite detail and colorful illustration, taken willingly on an educationally excited journey with Pearl and Merrin once again.....this time with cousin Sam along for the sleuthing, sonrisa...
Manley continues to educate and amaze her young readers with adventurous lessons that will stay with them throughout their teenage years, and even on into adulthood....Just as in her first book "The Lucky Escape" the "Battle of The Bugs" is a definite must have Parents for your child's Library!!!!

Creative book. Fun story line.We really enjoyed the colorful pictures. The part with the snot was a hit with the boys. They love a good gross out factor. haha! Educations and entertaining!
I really enjoyed teaching Science with this story. After reading this book, my daughter often referred back to it when she was brushing her teeth or cleaning her hands or doing something to destroy those bugs. I need to go buy the rest of the human body detectives!!!!
