About
the Series
The Gross and Goofy Body series takes readers
on a fresh and innovative journey through the body, giving them a fascinating
view into all the weird and interesting things about human and animal bodies.
Written in a fun, kid-friendly tone, and arranged in lively, illustration-full
spreads rather than chapters, The Gross and Goofy Body couples gross and goofy
facts about the body with serious science. Each book explores a new area or
function of the body, from bones to nerves to sneezing and passing gas. Each
spread is packed with visuals, including scientific photos as well as fun
illustrations. A note from the author tells readers how information was
gathered, and a "find out more" section includes websites and
books.
