Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Grade 4–6—The first part of this book gives nine reasons for sneezes. A spread is devoted to each one, complete with a black-and-white photograph of an irritated nose or two, paired with a color enlargement of the microscopic component that causes the particular sneeze. Lily's got pollen in her nose; she's shown mid-sneeze. Pollen grains are shown magnified 1,525 times. Other pests include ground pepper, dust mites, mildew, dust, and the flu virus. The large, white text on a black background, while giving a picture-book look, is actually packed with a lot of information. Readers will learn that even bright sunshine can make one's nose get all itchy and twitchy. The text is chatty and inviting. Children are pictured sniffling through their particular sneeze-inducing dilemmas. One section delves into what goes into the making of a sneeze: "A sneeze is a reflex…." A "More About Sneezing" section is quite interesting. For example, people don't sneeze while they're sleeping, and some people sneeze while they pluck their eyebrows. This is a unique selection, good for reports and for browsers.—Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI

From Booklist
Black-and-white photos show children caught in sudden spraying action, but the science in this handsome book about sneezing is for older readers, including high-school students. Kunkel's big, clear, beautiful color electron micrographs on every double-page spread show everything from dust mites, mildew, and pollen to the influenza A virus. A long note explains how the pictures are taken, colored, and then magnified from four-hundred to one-quarter million times. The chatty text is mainly focused on allergies, with one spread about flu (no mention, though, of the common cold); and dramatic anatomical detail shows what happens between the nose's prickly, twitchy itch, the neurons' messages, and the final violent explosion. End matter includes annotated Web sites, a detailed glossary, and more fascinating facts about the science and folklore of sneezing, including the origin of saying "God bless you!" after a person sneezes. Rochman, Hazel --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
