5.0 out of 5 stars Very enGROSSing, October 28, 2002
I bought this book along with the companion "Grossology and You". I didn't have to remind my 10-year-old son to do his nightly reading for weeks! The subjects are all things that boys find oddly entertaining, ie., snot, fatulence, diarrhea, etc. Each article has the facts of how and why these natural processes occur along with more "colorful" excerpts (ie., the diarrhea song) that kids love. This is a great way to entice young boys to get interested in biology and reading. After my son finished reading the book, he pointed out the others in the series and asked if I would get them as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars boys love gross stuff, December 6, 2005
My 4th grader is nuts about this book, as it has an impressive array of information on his favorite subjects: Barf, boogers, farts, body odor, burping, ear wax, bad breath and the other bodily functions that boys can't seem to get enough of. This gives them a chance to learn the science behind these, while they laugh hysterically at the illustrrations and comments. He really did learn alot and sounds like a junior medical student accurately explaing why he just made that tooting sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Reluctant Readers, December 27, 2005
By Anonymous (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
How can a 10-year-old NOT read the pages on boogers or poop? Meanwhile, the writing is clear and the essays even teach you a bit of science. Fun book, highly recommended.
