YIKES indeed!,
By
This review is from: Yikes Your Body Up Close (Hardcover)
YIKES! is loaded with gross-out pictures.Huge color up-close photographs of body parts, some tiny such as hair follicles, bones of the ear, etc. are intended to "gross out" the reader; background anatomical facts are given under a flap on each right page, facing and partly underlying the double-page closeup photo spreads. Each color photograph is presented as a mystery, with clues on the opposite page, such as "Without them you would die" and "they travel around in more than ten pints of fluid" (red blood cells). The photography is amazing, and the mystery-style pattern of the book should be intriguing for youngsters also. The anatomy information is accurate, and could be useful to an advanced middle school reader or a high school reader, although the photographs will gross a certain appeal, regardless of the readers' ages. Some sentences are sloppy or a pathetic attempt at punnery: "The skeleton is an internal scaffold that keeps you in shape." You know what you like: if you like these books of close-up photography of things, making them look gross or intimidating or monstrous, then this is book that has that. You'll like YIKES! ken32 |
