Description

Perfect for middle schoolers who love everything gross from the nasty things inside (and out) of our bodies to icky animals, revolting plants, gruesome bacteria, and more. Written by award-winning author Teresa Robeson, this book is packed full of fun facts and silly science, along with truly eye-popping illustrations and photographs that make intestines, boogers, ringworms, fecal coliforms, and brain eating amoeba even more vivid and visceral. Readers will be gagging and giggling at the same time. It's truly the most disgusting book ever!
