Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2?Most children are curious about scabs, for many of them have a scab somewhere on their bodies for most of their childhood. This Japanese import explores that fascination and explains how and why scabs form. Children with orange skin discuss picking them, eating them ("YUCK!"), and wonder what they are made of. "Is it hardened blood?" Could it be the "poop of a sore?" There is no indication which words are spoken by what character. The crudely drawn art and the words are helter-skelter on the pages, giving a messy appearance. However, even though the pictures are unattractive, the diagrams are well labeled and easy to understand and the clear, conversational text explains the process very well.?Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY

From Booklist

Ages 5^-8. The gang that produced Everyone Poops (1993) turns its attention to scabs. As usual, rather horrific pictures (scribbled cartoons featuring orange faces) and an often inane text ("Maybe a scab is made of something like poop that comes out of a sore") is combined with decent information about what a scab is, what causes it to form, and the function it serves for the body. As with other books in this series of Japanese imports, the topic has plenty of kid appeal, and the very grossness of the presentation just adds to the allure. Buy where previous books are popular, if you can stand hearing the giggles coming from the stacks. Coming this spring, Breasts. Ilene Cooper

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than "Holes in Your Nose", July 13, 1999
By A Customer
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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Keen! Simple & Direct explaination of the healing process., January 4, 1999
By A Customer
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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, June 24, 2001
By J. Meyer "Jim" (Grand Forks, ND) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
